Data Citizens is the Largest Gathering of Business Leaders Focused on Transforming Data into a Corporate Asset
New York, April 2, 2018 – Collibra, the leader in enterprise data governance and catalog software, today announced Paul DePodesta, Chief Strategy Officer for the Cleveland Browns football franchise and subject of Michael Lewis’ book, “Moneyball: The Art of Winning an Unfair Game,” will be the keynote speaker for its third annual Data Citizens Conference, April 30 – May 2, 2018 in Jersey City, NJ. Attracting nearly 500 attendees, the Collibra Data Citizens ’18 Conference is the world’s largest gathering of key stakeholders interested in data governance and the trends and technologies driving fundamental changes in how businesses access, use and manage data.
Widely known for turning around the Oakland As’ six consecutive year losing baseball seasons into the best winning percentage in baseball (392-255), DePodesta’s Moneyball methodology has become a highly regarded and proven strategy for business leaders seeking to overhaul stagnant systems. The Moneyball methodology has revolutionized Fortune 500 corporations in industries including government, healthcare, and more, by drawing connections between professional sport and basic business operations.
As the Data Citizens ’18 featured keynote speaker, DePodesta will offer his first-hand experience in evaluating and measuring talent value to demonstrate the importance of discovering and tracking the right data for yielding business success. Data Citizens attendees will learn new strategies and innovative techniques for drilling down big data output to create actionable analytics from previously-stagnant systems for improved business performance.
“Paul DePodesta proved that data can be a powerful weapon for winning, just as increasing numbers of organizations are putting a new premium on leveraging their data for competitive advantage,” said Felix Van de Maele, CEO of Collibra. “The Collibra Data Citizens conference offers a forum for business leaders across different industries to share best practices and strategies about how they use advanced data governance and catalog capabilities to empower all data citizens -- anyone within the organization who uses data to perform their job -- to make better decisions and gain greater insights.”
