About

I work with teams who have plenty of data but still have to decide what to change next. In marketing, information isn’t scarce. The harder part is that signals arrive out of sync, and decisions still have to hold. Product data points one way. Growth metrics point another. Customer feedback shows up late, filtered, or after the decision was already made. Each input makes sense on its own. Together, they don’t form a clear move. A decision still has to be made. I’ve spent a long time working inside that tension. Since the early 2000s, I’ve co-founded and built several SaaS companies, including Crazy Egg, KISSmetrics, and Nira. Nira was acquired by Dropbox, where I later worked on product and growth for AI products. Across all of that work, the same pattern kept showing up. Inside larger teams, decisions often sound solid in the moment. The trouble starts later. The context behind earlier calls fades. The constraints that mattered at the time don’t travel. Reasoning gets simplified, rewritten, or lost entirely. When questions resurface, teams argue about direction instead of revisiting the original judgment. I’m now back as CEO of Crazy Egg. The work there focuses on keeping teams close to what users actually do, especially when opinions start to harden. When user behavior stays visible, decisions tend to settle. When it disappears, debates stretch and momentum softens. That pattern shows up across most of what I work on. I spend a lot of time thinking about how GTM leaders make decisions when product direction, growth pressure, and market narrative pull in different directions. Information is incomplete. Costs are uneven. Timing rarely feels generous. What matters is whether a decision holds long enough for a team to move. If you’re responsible for aligning product, growth, and messaging and feel the weight of getting it wrong, this is the layer I spend my time in.

  • Nira is a Data Access Governance (DAG) Platform.
  • Prioritizing DAG has become imperative for organizations deploying AI chatbots like Google's Gemini or Copilot for Microsoft 365. DAG focuses on managing and monitoring who has access to specific data within an organization and establishing clear protocols for how this data is classified and handled.
  • Within platforms like Google Drive, Slack, SharePoint, OneDrive, and Teams, it’s not uncommon for hundreds of thousands—or even tens of millions—of company files to be shared and accessed by employees. Employees typically have access to sensitive data without a clear understanding of its confidentiality level, and often without even realizing they have access to the data in the first place. This oversight can pose significant security risks, particularly as AI chatbots require extensive access to organizational data to be effective.
  • Before giving Gemini or Copilot the keys to the kingdom – all Google and Microsoft documents, emails, calendars, presentations, contacts, meetings, and more – implementing a robust Data Access Governance program is paramount.
  • This approach minimizes potential security breaches and ensures that your organization’s data handling practices comply with relevant regulations and standards, safeguarding valuable company information.
