Data is often compared to oil – it powers today’s organizations, just like the fossil fuel powered companies of the past. Just like oil, the data that companies collect needs to be refined, structured, and easily analyzed in order for it to really provide value in the form of gaining actionable insights. Every organization today is in the process of harnessing the power of their data using advanced analytics, which is likely running on a modern data stack.

In this episode of CDO Battlescars, Sandeep Uttamchandani, Unravel Data’s CDO, speaks with Meenal Iyer, Sr. Director of Enterprise Analytics and Data at Tailored Brands. They discuss battlescars in two areas, data and metrics: Growing Data Literacy and Developing a Data-Driven Culture and Standardization of Business Metrics.

It’s hard to believe that Unravel Data was founded eight years ago — though the first few years were dedicated to defining and building our initial product. Since this time, the company has raised several rounds of funding, released several versions of our flagship DataOps Platform, and is being used by some of the world’s leading brands to improve the efficiency and reliability of their data pipelines.
