EY.ai Data Agent Owner

EY aspires to become the world’s most trusted AI-powered professional services firm, delivering transformative value to clients and employees. Leveraging its extensive data across finance, legal, HR, and core business operations, EY is uniquely positioned to accelerate its data strategy and unlock new opportunities for growth and protection of its business.

To achieve this vision, all Service Lines and global regions must collaborate on strategic priorities aligned with EY’s “All In” goal: safeguarding the current US$50B revenue base while generating the next US$50B. Central to this effort is advancing data management across its lifecycle to enhance existing services and create innovative offerings.

EY’s AI Ready Data Strategy, led by Applied Innovation and the Global Data Office, is the foundation for this transformation. The Data Office drives applied innovation by redefining how data is discovered, managed, utilized, and scaled.

As we embark on a journey to be AI Ready at EY, the data office is leading a key new capability that will transform how EY and its clients use AI and Agentic technology to transform data management: ‘EY.ai Data Agents’.

EY.ai Data Agents are the core trusted digital assistants of EY’s data estate. Built to perform, certified to scale, and always operating under the stewardship of EY professionals, they unlock the full potential of data across the firm. Whether it’s onboarding a client, validating entities, or orchestrating complex data flows, EY.ai Data Agents accelerate delivery, enhance trust and raise the bar for quality. Data Agents unlock EY’s data estate while keeping humans firmly in control.
