Data Stewards are important leaders in a company's information management program. As companies tackle data governance initiatives brought on by regulatory demands and the business need for higher confidence and transparency of data, the role of Data Steward becomes increasingly important. Data Stewards are accountable for the data strategy, definition, requirements, and quality of the data. To be effective in their duties, Data Stewards must understand how the data is created, stored, manipulated, moved about, and used. And, while data stewards usually do not personally run data governance, data quality, or metadata management programs, they must possess knowledge in all these, and many other information management disciplines.
