Align Your Data\, Enable Your Stakeholders\, Maximize Your Profits. DESCRIPTION:7775 Walton Pkwy\, Suite 100\nNew Albany\, OH 43054\nFriday 8/28/26\, 11:00 am – 1:00 pm\nBe ready to interact with our featured speaker\, Christian Steinert\, and your fellow participants. \nEat. Mingle. Make new friends.\nHere’s the uncomfortable truth: companies are sprinting toward AI without a handle on the fundamentals. \nData sits at the heart of everything in business. You can gauge how mature a company is just by examining the quality of data generated throughout their daily processes. Who’s responsible for updating a prospect’s sales status? Who ensures a new lead gets entered into the CRM with complete information—First & Last Name\, Address\, Date of Birth\, Email\, and Budget? You’d be surprised how few companies consistently do this well. \nThese companies try to build AI and predictive models on top of sales data that’s missing emails\, budget values\, and locations. As much as you want to use this data to find more customers\, you can’t—because the historical information simply isn’t complete. \nIn this TIGER Talk\, Christian Steinert reveals how to sell and then operate a data team that improves a company’s bottom line. Drawing from years in the trenches implementing data solutions across multiple industries—from manufacturing and commercial real estate to fintech\, telehealth\, and fast food—Christian will share real data war stories: what works\, what fails\, and what creates a healthy balance of ROI-producing data products paired with data quality and minimized technical debt. \nYou’ll learn: \n\nHow to pitch data as an ROI-driven solution in the enterprise\nHow to manage a data team that keeps data quality\, ROI\, and strategic partnership at the forefront\nWhere to start (hint: follow the money)\, how to pitch the vision\, and how to operate a data team that earns executive buy-in—delivering ROI in months\, not years\n\nAttendees will leave with an actionable roadmap and high-level steps for ensuring a successful data transformation. The roadmap template will be available for download to all attendees. \n*************** \nChristian Steinert has almost a decade of experience in data analytics engineering. He began his career at Vertiv (Columbus\, OH) as a Channel Marketing Analyst before serving as Lead Data Analyst at Updox (Dublin\, OH) pre- to post-acquisition\, and as Senior Data Engineer at JLL‘s markets division with LaSalle Investment Management (Chicago\, IL)\, building his expertise across both startup and Fortune 500 environments. \nAfter six years in the data space\, Christian became Founder & Chief Data Strategist at Steinert Analytics\, a premiere data consulting firm in Columbus specializing in healthcare. \n*************** \nLike all TIGER Events\, this talk is FREE.\n11:00 am – Coffee\, Snacks\, & Socializing \n11:15 am – Lunch & More Socializing \n11:45 am – Introduce yourself to our crowd (10 seconds please) \n12:05 pm – Hand-off to Christian \n1:00 pm – Wrap & Resume Socializing \n\n\n \n Name*\n \n \n First\n \n \n \n \n Last\n \n \n \n Email*\n \n Company*Consent to Use My Image & Voice*By registering for & participating in this event\, I am consenting to the recording of my image and/or voice.
