  9. “Everybody in the organization — whether you area technical person, a researcher or an engi­neer, a product manager, a businessperson, or an analyst — has to he data-driven. Now, not everybody has to look at data, but everybody has to understand data at sonic level. A lot of data is coming from the behavior of millions of people on our site. So, being able to understand and get your head around that data is really important. You can think of it as an attitude change in all grades of people."

  10. “We have gone from report creation that takes weeks or months to deliver, to self-service, real­-time data analysis. And we have gone from data analysis done by a small group of analysts to data-driven decisions throughout PayPal, done by most of the staff. All of this has progressively shrunk the latency of time to value of data."

  11. “While carefully respecting the privacy of our Linkedln members' data, every single bit of information is eventually used. The raw data gets transformed in very complex ways, allow­ing for members' data to remain private and anonymized. There are many different ana­lysts and data scientists who analyze this data, create different groupings of the data, create different aggregates of the data, look at differ­ent kinds of numbers on different user subpopulations and then glean insights from them. That's what ultimately goes into improving the relevance of our products.”
