The expanded mandate positions Teradata to move faster, make decisions with an enterprise-wide lens, and continue its transformation to win in the AI era.
A Proven Leader in Data and AI
Fecteau brings more than two decades of experience in data architecture, enterprise transformation, and AI enablement. Since joining Teradata in 2019, he has led the modernization of the company's internal data ecosystem and spearheaded the deployment of flagship scalable agentic AI capabilities — establishing Teradata as "customer zero" for its own data and AI offerings.

Expanded Responsibilities
In his combined CDAO and CIO role, Fecteau will be responsible for:

- Accelerating the modernization of Teradata's internal technology ecosystem to enable agentic AI-powered decision-making across the business.
- Guiding the Technology Services organization — comprising the company's infrastructure, enterprise applications, and technology operations — and integrating it with the Data & AI function for stronger execution.
- Continuing to champion the "Teradata on Teradata" initiative, leveraging Teradata's own platform to build scalable AI solutions that strengthen operations and inspire customers.

Technology Services is not just a support function — it is a strategic enabler. By bringing them together, we can deploy AI agents that make faster, smarter decisions across every part of the business — and set an example for how AI-first organizations actually operate. I'm energized by what we'll accomplish."
