Nachiket is the Global Head, Data & Analytics Engineering at Wayfair. In that role, he spearheaded the company’s global implementation of data mesh.

In this episode, Nachiket describes the four pillars of data mesh, and in doing so, he shares a rare front-line view of client-side operations involving data governance, including rich detail about how data mesh is implemented within an enterprise-class organization, what a successful implementation of that strategy requires, cultural implications, impact on data lineage, build vs buy considerations, and how that approach to data transforms everything from real-time decision making to Generative AI.
