What does it look like when AI and data actually drive results in banking — not just pilots, but real innovation at scale?
That’s exactly what I explored with my friend Harveer Singh, CDO, CDO, Consumer and small business banking at Truist Bank on The Ravit Show!We kicked things off with Truist’s recent win — Innovation of the Year for Analytics and AI from American Banker. But the conversation went much deeper.We discussed: • How Truist is using AI to personalize banking across digital, retail, and SMB • The bank’s framework for scaling data-driven decision-making across the org • Exciting use cases in lending, fraud detection, and real-time contextual insights • How they’re supporting small businesses with smarter, more relevant data products • And why responsible AI governance isn’t optional — it’s built into the way they workHarveer brought such a grounded and strategic take on what’s really required to make AI deliver value inside a large enterprise — from culture to architecture to execution.hashtag#data hashtag#ai hashtag#snowflakesummit hashtag#theravitshow

Data Governance, Data Quality in the AI World
I had to catch up and chat with my friend Sarang Bapat, Director Data Analytics and Governance, Mitsubishi Electric Trane US on The Ravit Show to talk about three topics every data and AI leader is thinking about right now:We dove into some of the most urgent conversations happening in boardrooms and data teams right now: ➡️ What’s really holding back AI adoption inside enterprises ➡️ Why data governance is being redefined — and fast ➡️ How data quality and literacy are no longer optional in a GenAI worldThis wasn’t just theory — it was real, practical insight from someone who’s been in the trenches of AI enablement at scale.This one’s worth a listen if you’re navigating the intersection of AI, governance, and data strategy. 👇#data #ai #governance #snowflakesummit #theravitshow

AI has an ROI problem
Everyone’s talking about GenAI, RAG, and agents — but how much of it is solving real enterprise problems? Here at Snowflake Summit 2025, I spoke with Hema Raghavan, Co-Founder, Kumo on The Ravit Show — and this one cut through the noise.We talked about why: • Personalization isn’t a “nice-to-have” anymore — it’s the only way to cut through information overload • LLMs can’t do it all — and where they fall short for enterprise-grade predictive modeling • Many companies are still stuck using 20-year-old ML methods — and what’s holding them back • RAG is everywhere, but agents are changing the game — and exposing its limits • The future of enterprise AI lies in structured data — and how ignoring it is costing companies real ROIHema’s perspective is technical, clear, and refreshingly honest. This conversation wasn’t about trends — it was about what needs to change to make AI truly useful for business.#data #ai #snowflakesummit #kumo #theravitshow

Transforming the Real Estate Industry with Data and Predictive AI
How do you modernize an entire industry — not just with software, but with intelligence? That’s the story behind this conversation I had at Snowflake Summit 2025 with Andrew Albert from Left Main REI and Pranabesh Sarkar from Altimetrik.We unpacked a real-world digital transformation — one that starts with a business problem and ends with real estate professionals making smarter, faster decisions.Andrew spoke candidly about why a purpose-built CRM platform was essential for the industry and what led them to rethink how agents access and use data.Pranabesh walked us through how the team engineered a solution that pulls together multiple first- and third-party data sources — and how predictive AI now powers that unified platform.What stood out? This isn’t a generic AI story. It’s targeted, intentional, and already making a difference on the ground.We closed with reflections on what’s next — for the partnership and for the broader future of AI-driven decision-making in the real estate sector.If you care about turning data into action (not just insights), this is a conversation you’ll want to catch.#data #ai #snowflakesummit2025 #altimetrik #theravitshow

Alitmetrik and Snowflake Partnership
It’s always great to get past the buzzwords and into what’s actually working. Here at Snowflake Summit 2025, I spoke to Mihir Panchal, VP - Data Partnerships and Solutions, Altimetrik on The Ravit Show to talk about the real impact of the Altimetrik–Snowflake partnership.We talked about how this partnership is showing up in the real world — not just in strategy decks, but in how teams are solving real customer problems together.Then we got into:-- Partnership between Snowflake and Altimetrik-- A joint customer story that shows what’s possible when you align on outcomes, not just technology-- Practical use cases where data and AI are driving value on the ground — especially in areas like predictive analytics and real-time insights-- And what’s next for the partnership as more enterprises move from experimentation to production with GenAIThis one is a solid peek behind the scenes of a collaboration that’s not just strategic — it’s delivering.#data #ai #snowflakesummit #altimetrik #theravitshow

What Makes Altimetrik’s AI Approach Stand Out
There’s no shortage of AI hype out there right now. Everyone’s got a demo, a framework, or a promise. But very few are moving beyond the pilot phase and delivering real results. At Snowflake Summit 2025, I got a chance to speak with Adam Caplan, President of Digital Business & GenAI at Altimetrik on The Ravit Show, for a grounded, honest conversation about what it takes to make GenAI work at scale — and how Altimetrik is doing just that.We got into:-- What actually makes Altimetrik’s AI-first approach stand out-- How they’re helping clients escape “pilot purgatory” and launch in production-- The trends shaping enterprise AI adoption — and where expectations are shifting-- Partnerships with players like Snowflake and OpenAI that are turning strategy into outcomes-- And what it really takes to build GenAI solutions that are fast, scalable, and responsibleAdam brought clarity and perspective — and a sharp take on where the biggest opportunities lie for enterprise leaders right now.This one’s for anyone navigating the space between hype and execution.#data #ai #snowflakesummit2025 #altimetrik #theravitshow

Qlik + Snowflake: Powering the Future of Open, AI-Ready Data Integration
Great partnerships don’t just align on vision — they deliver on execution. This week at Snowflake Summit 2025, I sat down with Andy Iyengar, Qlik and Andrew Helgeson, Snowflake to talk about how this collaboration is helping enterprises unlock speed, flexibility, and intelligence across their data landscape.This partnership has gone beyond integrations — it’s now enabling customers to:- Tap into real-time analytics and governed data with confidence- Embrace Open Lakehouse architectures and Snowflake-managed Iceberg tables- Explore advanced AI use cases like Retrieval-Augmented Generation (RAG) via Snowflake Cortex- And build modern, multi-cloud environments that scale without frictionWe also talked about Qlik being named Snowflake’s 2025 Data Integration Partner of the Year — and what makes this recognition so meaningful.If you’re thinking about what “AI-ready” data actually looks like in production, this one’s for you.#data #ai #snowflakesummit #qlik #theravitshow

The Next Generation of Data Observability
AI agents in data aren’t just coming — they’re already here. But the real story is what makes these agents trustworthy, developer-first, and actually useful for real-world teams. At Snowflake Summit, I caught up with Or Avidov, Co-founder and CPO at Elementary, to talk about their latest announcement — AI agents purpose-built for data teams on The Ravit Show.We dug into: • What makes these agents fundamentally different from the wave of AI tools we’ve seen so far • Why now was the right moment to build them • How Elementary is staying true to its developer-first roots, even while embracing GenAI • And how they’re designing these agents with trust and guardrails built in from day oneWe also zoomed out to talk about what the next 12–18 months could look like for AI in the modern data stack — and what roles agents might play in helping teams move faster, spot issues sooner, and automate the grunt work.If you’re building or running a data team, this one’s worth a watch.#data #ai #snowflakesummit #elementary #theravitshow
