Hey, I’m Chris the Senior Marketing Operations Manager at Wave. I’ve worked in Segment at multiple career stops and we are just over our 1 year mark of onboarding with Segment here - and hopefully should finish implementation in another year with a ton of legacy items and connections to think about, as we look to send data to about 20 systems downstream and really empower our customer facing teams to know more about our customers.

Outside of managing the Ops team, I live on a farm in what I like to refer to as the capital of the middle of nowhere - Commanda, where no cell service or wired internet can find me. Remote since before it was cool (2016), and proud Starlink customer.

@Andrew Ferreira - onboarding is going well; I actually had to build a stack from scratch and so we’ve added about 7 new martech tools in the last year - which I knew was stupid going into it, and feel it has gone better than I could have expected. We’re in the midst of major platform changes too of course - so just the usual chaos - but with the various launches we have been doing, more and more people in the organization are getting exposed and extracting value from the platform - so it’s been really nice to see it serving use cases for us.

Glad to hear everything is going well. Are you guys using the data warehouse to build any kind of analytics with it?

Hey, I know you @Chris Johnston ! 

@Andrew Ferreira Just getting started on that journey. I’m our Sr. Manager, Data Analytics at Wave and our team is just starting to tap into the potential of Segment events in our Redshift data warehouse - since we brought them into the warehouse a couple of month ago. We use Looker as our data visualization platform so there’s an added layer of complexity bringing Segment events into that platform in a way that is properly modelled and ready for presentation to stakeholders

Would love to hear of any other experiences others have had bringing Segment data into your warehouse and data visualization/dashboarding tools.
