Preql

Last night we partnered with Meghan Curtin McKenna ?? and the incredible team at FIF Collective to share insights on how Finance leaders can drive value for their organizations with AI. Our co-founder Gabi Steele led an inspiring conversation with Jennifer Warren, Rebecca Schwartz, Denzil Eden and Jane Tran on ways they're seeing AI as an immediate opportunity for finance teams to work better, faster, cheaper -- as well as challenges in getting these initiatives off the ground. A few takeways: ?? Data & infrastructure is the first step in unlocking value with AI solutions and capabilities. Is your data ready for AI and if not what is the fastest way to prepare it or segments of it to tackle low hanging fruit wins next year ?? Most AI solutions you'll consider implementing are "human in the loop" automations that will expedite the process of manual workflows someone or several people on your team are struggling with. AI isn't here to replace them it's here to replace the worst parts of their jobs! ?? Highest performers will gain the most from AI automation solutions, consider their workflows and what is slowing down their processes the most as you prioritize where AI can best drive value for your organization. #thepreqltoAI #finance #automation

It also feeds our product strategy and ensures we’re solving the most pressing problems in the industry. This is what inspired The Metrics Club, a private professional network for finance & data professionals passionate about sharing insights and building meaningful connections. Our Metrics Supper Club event brought together data-driven finance leaders from The Guardian, Beauty Pie, Charlotte Tilbury Beauty and FARFETCH to discuss: the mix of skillsets required to build the finance teams of the future, where/how AI can transform finance orgs, and how to equip finance teams with insight into the operational drivers of the business.

We had a blast at Big Data LDN last week! ?? It’s one of the best events for learning & bringing together an energetic crowd of data leaders and enthusiasts. The data market may be crowded, but everyone was excited about the latest innovations ?? Our key takeaways: ?? Every vendor seems to say the same thing ??, and there are multiple solutions for each problem, but most still focus on data teams, not their business users. ?? Average implementation times are 4-6 months ?, yet no one talks about the ongoing maintenance or the budgets needed to keep engineers supporting these tools ??. ?? AI is the buzzword ??, but few are actually using it to transform their organizations. The data world hasn’t fully embraced AI yet—but that could change fast ?. Missed out on our Preql socks ?? or water bottles? No worries! Apply to join The Metrics Club, our community of data and finance leaders, for a chance to receive a full Preql swag bag ??.?The first 20 applicants will get an exclusive kit!
