In this episode, Graham Reed and Antonia Landi dive deep into data with Timo Dechau, and discuss the critical role of data in product operations. They explore how to bridge the gap between product, data and business strategy, the importance of defining product performance metrics, and the need for collaboration between product, product marketing and data teams.
