How Enterprise Leaders are Approaching the New Data Infrastructure Stack

While investors and operators speak at length about the data infrastructure stack from a technology perspective, CapitalG investor Jill Greenberg believes we don’t spend enough time thinking about how these changes land on the key decision makers, especially at big enterprise companies.

At Trifacta and Google Cloud’s Wrangle Summit 2021, the first industry event to focus exclusively on modern data engineering, Jill shared growth insights from her work with CapitalG portfolio companies including Databricks, Looker, Collibra and Dataiku.

As part of her thesis-driven research at CapitalG, Jill and her team asked 50 CDOs at Fortune 500 companies how they’re thinking about the data stack including what they’re excited about, their biggest pain points, how they’re allocating budget, and where they expect the most innovation.

We recommend watching the full 30 minute presentation, but below the video are timestamps in case you want to jump around.
