Ciara McMorrow

Ciara McMorrow, a hands-on leader in Data and AI Governance, is passionate about making governance practical, purposeful, and aligned to business goals. With over a decade of experience, Ciara has helped global organisations turn governance from a tick-box exercise into a strategic enabler, because she believes that AI & Data Governance shouldn’t be just about rules, it’s about creating value and trust. Ciara has designed and delivered enterprise-wide frameworks that improve data quality, embed accountability, and unlock opportunities for innovation. At Sky, she spearheaded the rollout of GDPR-aligned practices and built an AI governance program that aligns with the EU AI Act, ensuring AI is deployed ethically, transparently, and risk managed. Her approach? Keep it practical, tie it to business outcomes, and master the art of persuasion. Ciara knows that governance only works when people buy in, so she focuses on influencing stakeholders, building strong data cultures, and making governance something teams embrace not avoid
