On the second day of Future Data, we’re sitting down with Ben Horowitz, Co-Founder and General Partner of Andreessen Horowitz to hear his thoughts on all things data, decision, and culture.

Ben Horowitz falls resoundingly into the category of “needs no introduction,” but we’ll do one anyway. As Co-Founder and General Partner at Andreessen Horowitz, Ben knows the importance of shaping the future of data, with over a decade of investment in data systems, tools, and customer data platforms. Ben is also an expert on leadership and culture and has written two New York Times best-selling books on the topic.

In a conversation with Peter Bailis, Founder and CEO of Sisu, Ben will explore the impact that data engineering, analytics, and data science have on how companies operate, and the challenges of building a truly data-driven culture.

Ben knows that unlocking how your company uses data is critical to building a successful company culture, but you need the right tools to execute your strategy. As he explained in a press release on his session:

“Everyone knows that making decisions based on data is better, but only if you have the tools to do so accurately and on time. Those tools have finally arrived, and companies like Sisu, Databricks, and others participating in the Future Data Conference are poised to empower the next generation of decision-makers.”

We’re excited to have Ben at Future Data. He joins a strong list of founders, innovators, and researchers speaking at the event including Pat Hanrahan of Tableau, Azza Abouzied of NYU, Alan Jacobson of Alteryx, Elena Grewal of Data 2 the People, and many more.

To make sure you won’t miss this exciting conversation, add his session to your agenda or register today to attend Future Data.
