With a passion for understanding how organizations, regardless of size, can harness data for better decision-making, Alistair has dedicated his life to the intersection of technology, data, and entrepreneurship.

He's been at the forefront of launching six major conferences that have shaped the tech landscape. His voice and insights have also graced stages at renowned conferences like Le Web, Web2Expo, IGT, Velocity, Lean UX, Enterprise 2.0, Mesh, and eMetrics.

Alistair also shares a personal story during the discussion about his parents and how he thinks about life in three stages. "My father, if you think about life, there's a period of time where you take off. There's a period of time where you fly, and there's a period of time where you land the plane. This is a normal human life. You kind of learn things. You have your career, and then you hopefully retire comfortably, and so on. I never saw my father land the plane. He only ever flew up into the right until he died one day on a racketball court with five jobs and 20-something books under his belt, having changed the face of a disease that ravages billions of people, big shoes to fill. But also, I never saw him land. I never saw my Mom and Dad plan their retirement, figure out which skills and which hobbies they wanted to take with them into older life."
