S1 | E23 | Helping organizations manage, understand and act on their data with Scott Breitenother - Founder & CEO at Brooklyn Data Company(Velir company)

This is Episode 23 of the Thinkdata podcast in partnership with Dataworks and in this episode, I spoke to Scott Breitenother.

Scott is the CEO and founder of Brooklyn Data company, and they are regarded as one of the leading modern data analytics consulting firms out there.

Following the acquisition by Velir in March this year, he assumed the role of Chief Data officer, and is now working across the group helping to drive data-driven decision-making across their customer base!

Scott's passion, and excitement for this space shone through, and for anyone interested in hearing what it takes to launch, scale, and go through an acquisition, this is a MUST listen.

We covered a lot -

  • What led Scott to launch Brooklyn Data Company back in 2018
  • The steps he took to launch and lead a business that saw year-on-year growth since inception.
  • How did he know when was the right time to become part of Velir
  • How Scott got the people and talent piece right from the outset
  • How he created a brand and a compelling story that people would buy into, and want to work for
  • With the rapid rise of AI tools and products currently entering the space, what are Scott's thoughts on how this will impact the way Data teams are set up moving forward
