Why is data important to you?
I believe data is important because it drives so many important aspects of our daily lives, both professionally and personally.
In my personal life, I used data to track my BMI and weight over two years, which helped me become healthier.
As a company, we track many metrics, which helps us monitor the health of the organization and make timely and informed decisions.
Data is a core tenant to help us live in a better world. For example, the Covid-19 pandemic — showed us how important data is. How else would we know how serious the conditions are, what precautions to take, and how we are managing the solution if not for having data in near-real time?
What do you love about working for Infostrux?
What I love about Infostrux is the people. We work with knowledgeable, experienced people who truly care about working with data to make a difference. That creates a culture of openness and listening to each other.
