Business intelligence has dominated corporate conversations for years. It’s an integral component of making data-backed decisions and as well as an important tool for any Data Radical. Today, we’re lucky enough to speak with a business intelligence pioneer, Bernard Liautaud.

Bernard is the Managing Partner of Balderton Capital and was the founder of BusinessObjects. In this interview, he and Satyen discuss the origins of business intelligence, what it’s like to found a company, creating healthy company cultures, and so much more.
