It’s been a bit since I posted but I have a career update!

I am now the Senior Manager of the RevOps Insights (Analytics) team at 1Password. I think I’ve found my niche. I’ve worked on GTM/RevOps teams for most of my career and am excited to step into a leadership role in GTM data 🤓

No, Facebook, I don’t want to know the “memories” of the cringey song lyrics I posted 15+ years ago

A tale as old as time…

Me: “hey data eng team i need some fields added to our Salesforce tables in the warehouse for some GTM analysis”

Them: …no

Me: what’s the process to submit for approval?

Them: (laughs)

When life tells you to compare column types on dozens of tables between their Redshift instance and their Snowflake instance...you make some version of lemonade in Hex

Does anyone else yell at their phone “unsubscribe me” when they get an irrelevant ad?

When a GTM leader asks for a churn prediction model, they often don’t actually want a churn prediction model.

They want to understand levers available to reduce churn…and prediction models don’t tell them that.

So much wasted time rebuilding models that never say what the leader actually wants.

YAML is everywhere, even as the automod code on Reddit. What else did I expect.

Great read from Jacob on the benefits and current limitations of using an AI coding companion.

Something I've consistently observed in analytics across multiple companies:

The central data team doesn't 'get' sales analytics

The GTM Ops team doesn't 'get' how to scale analytics

Which means the CCO / SVP of GTM Ops / SVP of CS consistently express frustration about data

Wow be careful everyone

🚨New Blog Post🚨

It's a near-guarantee that your CRM company data like Industry is messy. What if you could leverage the knowledge and synthesis of an LLM to clean it up? And do it directly in SQL in your data warehouse?

I recently tried exactly that:

Dropping a blog tomorrow morning about using an LLM in SQL to clean up CRM industry data 👀
Used it to fill in Industry data for some accounts in the CRM, worked much better than I anticipated. Need to write up a blog post about this!

Anyone out there working in RevOps / Sales Ops / Marketing Ops / CS Ops?

Would love to put together a starter pack for us and haven’t seen one yet.

Went back today and bought this, it’s so cool. Circa early 1918 according to the serial number.

We ran 80,000 simulations tonight.

Analytics Engineers are called Data Engineers in 40,012 of them.

They’re called Data Analysts in the other 39,988.
