In this week’s episode of Data Unlocked, Jason sits down with Chad Sanderson, the Head of Data Platform at Convoy.

Early in his career, Chad worked in big data with some well-known international names such as Microsoft, Subway, and Sephora.

For the last three years, he’s been working in Convoy, a digital freight network (more on that in the episode) that focuses on owning the entire data pipeline for a complex freight life cycle. And that means everything, from events instrumentation to data storage to applications building.

Convoy has worked with enterprise brands like Unilever, P&G, and LG Electronics.

In this episode, Chad discusses the challenges around how data is applied, how businesses can make the most out of their data, the people and processes that drive the data systems, and more.
