During PAPIs.io Connect Valencia 2016, Florian Douetteau, Dataiku co-founder and CEO, gave a talk on "How to Build a Successful Data Team."
To set the scene for the talk (which you can find embedded below), imagine this: as you walk into your office on Monday morning, before you've even had a chance to grab a cup of coffee, your CEO asks to see you. He's worried: both customer churn and fraudulent transactions have increased over the past six months. As the data team manager, you have six months to solve this problem.
How can data team managers make their teams more efficient despite challenges like:
- Grappling with multitudes of technology choices.
- Building a team and solving the skill-set disconnect.
- Managing expectations on the business side.

Florian has worked in the data field since 2001, back when it was not yet big. He worked in successful startups in the search engine, advertising, and gaming industries, holding various data or CTO roles. He started Dataiku in 2013 - his first venture as a CEO, with the goal of alleviating the daily pains encountered by data teams all around.
