Data Sips: Interview with Mark Cooper

By on

Data Sips is a new video miniseries presented by Ippon Technologies and DATAVERSITY that showcases quick conversations with industry experts from last month’s Data Governance & Information Quality (DGIQ) Conference in Washington, D.C. 

The sixth episode of the Data Sips series features Mark Cooper, founder of The Data Brains (and a DATAVERSITY columnist), chatting with host Steve MacLauchlan, head of data at Ippon. Steve also hosts a longer version of the series called The Data Pour, where he sits down with data professionals over drinks.

In the interview, Mark discusses the rise of data products and the data management problems they can help solve. He also shares details about his podcast, Rock Bottom Data Feed, which he co-hosts with John Ladley.
