Learn more about how CambridgeSpark.com is helping organisations and professionals master Data & AI skills to stay ahead in the digital era.

In this episode of Data & AI Mastery, host Dr. Raoul-Gabriel Urma, Founder of Cambridge Spark, sits down with Andy MacMillan, CEO at Alteryx, to explore how businesses can get real about data and make AI truly practical.

Andy shares how Alteryx helps people who understand data, but aren’t developers, build automations and AI-driven insights using messy, real-world data. He also offers a candid CEO’s perspective on what it really takes to make AI work at scale, from building AI alongside legacy systems, to designing responsible governance, to empowering every employee to use data effectively.

Andy also goes on to share how organisations can move fast and deliver value without waiting for the “perfect” infrastructure. He unpacks what agentic AI really means in the enterprise; how to give AI the right context and business logic to make accurate, trustworthy decisions and why hands-on leadership matters.
