My World Series Dashboard Metrics

As a Yankee fan, I am appalled at their post-season offensive performance this year.

In the game of baseball, the general consensus is …

The Future of Business Is in Good Hands

I started my last company when I was still in college. It was 1996. My partner and I were building websites at a time when most businesses were just discovering the Internet. We were charging $65 an hour for our services. I remember sitting in class one day as the professor was going on about …

CEOs Afraid of Going Social are Doing Shareholders a Massive Disservice

If you haven’t heard by now, Domo and CEO.com just released a mind-blowing study that found the vast majority of Fortune 500 CEOs are virtually invisible on social media sites.

The Data Warehouse Dilemma

As head of client services, I get to partner with our customers who are trying to solve real problems with Domo.
