Poya talks artificial intelligence, big data, and entrepreneurism with Carlos Mendez Solano, the founder and CEO of Datagran. Carlos has an incredible story that he shared on the show, one where he started his career in advertising at JWT and then starting his own web development agency. Fast forward to 2017, Carlos decided to made another leap. With the knowledge and skills gained from his career along with his educational background as well as entrepreneurial spirit, Carlos decided to launch Datagran, a company that is putting machine learning and AI into the hands of marketers as well as business leaders. 

Highlights from this week’s podcast include:

• Carlos discusses how his education and experience led him on the path to founding Datagran
• Mendez explains exactly what Datagran does
• Mendez is driven by his desire to make an impact on society
