The Sequel Show

The evolution of the data industry & data jobs w/ Avo CEO and Co-founder Stefania Olafsdottir

Well, Sequel Show fans, we officially have some amazing theme music. Huge thanks to the talented Joe Stevens for our new theme song that makes all my synth-wave dreams come true. 

In today’s episode, I talk with Stefania Olafsdottir, the co-founder and CEO of product analytics platform Avo. We covered an amusing amount of ground--as always in The Sequel Show--from the etymology of cow vs beef to the visualization of weather data. The meat of the show focuses on Stef’s early background as an associate researcher to the accuracy and specificity (or lack thereof) of data role titles today. We dive into the influences of data teams on their companies, how these teams evolve, and the facts, assumptions, and suggested actions these data champions can present. Don’t worry, we also discussed Stef’s experience as the CEO of Avo and took a look at how the company got its start (and her vision for the future of Avo). You don’t want to miss it.
