    • The Data Leaders Digest – Second Edition

      The best insights come from real conversations, with real leaders making tough calls, solving messy problems, and figuring out how to scale their data teams in the real world. That’s why I started The Data Leaders Digest. Each month, we share what’s actually happening inside data teams, pulled from our podcasts, live events, meetups, and honest behind-the-scenes conversations. No theory. Just practical takeaways you can use right now to make better decisions, avoid common pitfalls, and keep moving forward. This Month in Data - Renewals, Real Talk, and Rising Costs If last month’s newsletter raised the alarm, this one confirms what many data leaders feared - the Fivetran price hike on March 1st, is having a big impact. But that’s just one part of a bigger picture. In this edition, we assess the market sentiment, share takeaways from our LinkedIn Live event on the silent productivity costs of migration, and share insights from season 2 opening episode of the Data Matas Podcast with AWS’s Jon Hammant. We’ll also recap the latest frontline insights from London Analytics Meetups and CDO events, spotlight what’s coming next, and introduce a new campaign to help teams navigate renewal season without getting locked in (again).

    • The Data Leaders Digest – First Edition

      The best insights come from real conversations—from leaders making tough decisions, solving big problems, and navigating the reality of scaling data infrastructure. That’s why I started The Data Leaders Digest. I didn’t want this to be another newsletter full of marketing spin and repackaged vendor takes. This is about what’s really happening—the challenges, the shifts, and the lessons data leaders can take back to their teams today. Each edition will transform our conversations with leaders like you into actionable insights: Data Matas Podcast – Unfiltered conversations with data leaders solving real problems. LinkedIn Live Events – Deep dives into the biggest challenges facing data teams today. Industry Shifts – What’s changing in ETL pricing, vendor lock-in, and cost-efficient scaling strategies. Actionable Insights – No theory, no sales pitch—just real-world lessons from the trenches. This month, we need to talk about Fivetran’s price hike because it’s about to hit a lot of data budgets hard.
