Nick Hardy, now VP of Data at Ro, transformed his data team by embedding analysts directly within partner teams, supercharging decision-making across the healthcare company. He shared his experience transitioning from working with data at BuzzFeed to handling sensitive healthcare data at Ro, and the thoughtful management that happens behind it. The analytics team is decentralized and embedded, with a mix of formal dotted line managers and stakeholder groups, and works closely with various departments. They've evolved their model to bring analysts closer to partner teams, unlocking more impact in decision-making. Data teams exist to help businesses make decisions quickly, and AI will take this to the next level.
