Managing Director, Wavestone

In his most recent best seller, Fail Fast, Learn Faster: Lessons in Data-Driven Leadership in an Age of Disruption, Big Data, and AI, Randy tells the story of the rise of Big Data and its business impact—its disruptive power, the cultural challenges to becoming data driven, the importance of data ethics, and the future of data-driven AI. The book rose to the top-5 in the Business category in 2021 thanks to its deep insights into how the thirst for data has shaped explosive information growth, technology advancement, emergence of the Internet and social media, along with challenges to accepted notions of data, science, and facts, and asks what it means to become “data-driven.”

We look forward to extending our expertise in data-driven leadership on a global stage with Wavestone, and deepening our expertise in data, from strategy through execution and into data security, which is rapidly emerging as one of the most urgent business issues facing leading companies across the globe.
