VP of Data & Analytics
Cody Bakken
I build the data & AI systems most executives only sponsor.
Twenty years turning data into decisions — and still shipping the code. I write about building and leading data & analytics, from BI and machine learning to the frontier: agentic analytics and LLM evaluation.
What I write about
01 Data & analytics leadership
Building the function from zero — teams, operating models, and earning a seat in exec decisions.
02 Analytics & data platforms
BI, self-service, and the warehouse underneath: modeling, cost, and making data trustworthy.
03 Machine learning & measurement
Predictive analytics, experimentation, and proving impact with evidence that holds up.
04 AI & agentic analytics
LLM evaluation, agents that do real analytical work, and knowing when the answer is wrong.
