In this Thought Leadership conversation, we will meet with Kent Graziano, founder of The Data Warrior, LLC.
In his lustrous career, Kent had carved out a very interesting niche for himself as a community evangelist in the world of data analytics. We will explore the value that community evangelists bring to the industry as independent thought leaders (and why as a data practitioner, you should consider evangelism, too).
In Kent's particular story, after many years of being an outspoken Oracle evangelist, Kent turned the full force of his attention to Snowflake, thereby becoming something of a public "Oracle Outcast".
We will explore with Kent one of his most-asked questions: "What made you turn so quickly to Snowflake (before they IPO’ed) after 30 years of being a independent community leader with Oracle?"
Join this slide-free, 30-min video call to learn more about Kent and his journey, and how to become a thriving software community evangelist.
