Ep9: 66 Questions Data Leaders Unplugged: Bill Schmarzo

As you can probably tell from the interview, I've known Bill for a while now and we just click.  He grew up playing the trumpet, so did I, we were both in Jazz Bands and to boot he was into his sport Basketball and I was into Tennis as my sport!  With a lot in common, it was really great to get to know more about Bill, his character and what lies beneath the skin.  We had a great conversation and I'm sure you will hear it and feel it as we meander through the questions.  It's clear to me that Bill is a philosophical soul with wisdom oozing out from every pore.  I really enjoyed speaking to Bill and getting to know the man more intimately.  Thank you for taking the time to listen to this season and when you get a moment please tell everyone about it. :-) Bill is currently working as Customer Advocate, Data Management Incubation at Dell Technologies.  Professor and Educator. He has developed and teaches the “Big Data MBA” – a course for integrating data and analytics into the operations of the business – at University of San Francisco School of Management and National University of Ireland-Galway School of Business & Economics.
