Summary

In this episode of Hub & Spoken , Jason Foster , CEO and Founder of Cynozure, speaks with Shachar Meir , a data advisor who has worked with organisations from startups to the likes of Meta and Paypal. Together, they explore why so many companies, even those with skilled data teams, solid platforms and plenty of data, still struggle to deliver real business value.
