14: The Big Data Landscape in a Fast-Changing Economy w/ Tom Mack

The data you collect should be speeding you up, not slowing you down.

The only way to make sure this is happening is to leverage the power of the cloud, but how do you keep up with all of the recent trends in this space?

Tom Mack is the RVP of Sales, EMEA at Qubole where he joined four years ago to build out a sales team in the Western United States.  Qubole provides big data as a service, so they understand this landscape well. They focus on allowing automation to handle the life cycle of data clusters so organizations can get insights and yield out of their data as opposed to managing the infrastructure associated with big data technology.

In the time since he joined the team, Tom and his family have moved to London and opened up Qubole’s European sales operation where the team is on track to keep expanding throughout Europe. Tom’s job is to drive sales and create new business opportunities.

Tom joined us for this episode of B2B Revenue Acceleration to talk about the Big Data landscape, different verticals and industries that are benefiting the most from this technology, and differences between the North American and European markets.
