Making the Most of Data in Operational Analytics with Clément Galopin, Co-Founder & CPTO at Octolis
Hashmap on Tap Ep. 119
“We should not divide the product or the tech — it’s very important that they work together to reach the same goal, to bring the same value to the users.”
— Clément Galopin, Co-Founder & CPTO at Octolis
On a recent episode of Hashmap on Tap, Clément Galopin joined show host, Kelly Kohlleffel. Clément is the Co-Founder & CPTO at Octolis, which he describes as a “product-driven startup.” Over the course of the episode, Clément discusses his background in consulting, as well as the beginnings of Octolis, their plans for the future, and his perspectives on the future of the modern data stack.
Octolis is enabling business teams to combine all of their customer data, enrich it, and sync it back to operational tools and business systems like Salesforce, Zendesk, Mailchimp, and others. Octolis handles activities such as data standardization, deduplication, and scoring and has over 30 native connectors.
On tap for today’s episode: Sortilège and spiked coffee. Sortilège is a Canadian whisky with maple syrup, and it reminds Clément of good memories from studying abroad in Québec. For Kelly — a “spicy-sweet bourbon coffee” — coffee with an espresso shot, Four Roses Bourbon, organic maple syrup, a little bit of cream, and a pinch of cayenne pepper to spice it up.
Check out Clément’s thoughts on:
- Staying true to his passion for technology in a business environment
- Kelly and Clément‘s mutual appreciation for Castor’s evangelism and how Octolis is looking to break into sharing views on topics like the modern data stack
- The differences and challenges between consulting and building a product
- The importance of learning to say “no” to a customer and why you can’t always say “yes” to something when it comes to the core value of a product
- Staying pragmatic in regards to customer requests and why it’s important to stick to your product’s roadmap
- How Octolis is delivering operational analytics to make sure you can take action within your day-to-day tools
- Dealing with integrations — new integrations may not be the priority and the use of an integration template
