The Sequel Show

What data teams can learn from finance ft. Jeremiah Lowin, CEO of Prefect

Before we get into the episode notes, I want to take a beat to thank all of you for supporting the Show over the last year. It's been amazing watching it go from a fun way to connect with some of my favorite folks in data to a full, polished podcast (featuring even more awesome people). We couldn't do it without you and I'm looking forward to giving the best and brightest of our industry the stage in the coming year. 

To kick things off with season 2, we have a great episode with Jeremiah Lowin, founder and CEO of dataflow automation tool Prefect. In this 1-hour, 7-minute episode, Jeremiah and I dive into the lessons that the wider data industry can learn from the experts in data finance. Some of the major points include:

  • How he got his start in data finance
  • The difference in reporting in terms of uncertainty vs outcomes
  • The case for hearing/focusing on problems vs solutions
  • Building non-political organizational culture
  • Non-managerial growth in data careers
