ReadersSpeak

The future of DataOps

e recently heard from Kent Graziano,
owner and chief strategy advisor at Data
Warrior LLC. He recently launched the
W #TrueDataOps podcast, which features
business leaders, tech innovators, commentators and
users at the forefront of the data operations sphere. He
thought readers of The Green Sheet would be interested
in the podcast, given the increasingly important role
data collection and analytics play in the payments
sphere.

"Our podcast series aims to build a realistic picture
of a world empowered by #TrueDataOps," Graziano
said. "We shine a light on the technologies and the
opportunities out there, suggest tips and techniques to
take you further, faster, and point out pitfalls."

The first episode for 2023 featured Justin Mullen, co-
founder and CEO of DataOps.live, discussing the past,
present and future of DataOps. Graziano noted that
Mullen is a recognized expert in DataOps, data mesh,
IoT data, data analytics, governance and risk. In the
second episode, Mullen was joined by Data Warrior
CTO and co-founder, Guy Adams, to discuss their
predictions for 2023.

Future episodes will follow each Wednesday on
LinkedIn, at 8 a.m. PST/4 p.m. GMT. Upcoming
guests will include: Paul Rankin of Roche Diagnostics
discussing real-life experiences; Mike Ferguson, owner,
CEO and head of research at Intelligent Business
Strategies, with 40 years' experience in business
analytics, big data, and data management; and Frank
Bell, snowflake data superhero, data thought leader at
Accenture, author of the Snowflake Essentials book, and
leader in creating data-driven businesses in the cloud

"Data and data engineering have changed enormously—
my podcast guests and I have been fortunate enough
to have front-row seats in these transformative times,"
Graziano said. "With a roster of great guests lined up,
we'll continue offering fresh perspectives and sparky
conversations in 2023 and beyond."

and LinkedIn. You can also register for podcast updates
