GoodData and Visa: A common data-driven future?
Summary
Melissa McSherry, SVP and global head of Data, Security, and Identity products at Visa, noted that: "As the world faces pandemic and economic challenges, theres no better time to invest in areas that will improve the lives of consumers and businesses. We could not help but notice the pandemic reference in Visa spokespersons statement, and this brought up an opportunity to discuss how GoodDatas philosophy is put to practice with Stanek. Recently, GoodData helped develop and launch the COVID-19 Commerce Insight project to analyze a billion engagements and 400 million transactions showing the impact of COVID-19 on global and regional consumer spending. The goal was to put up-to-date consumer data in the hands of business owners, economists, and policymakers, giving them the actionable insights needed to navigate this economic crisis. Stanek offered a vivid example, by asking the rhetorical question of how would users be able to navigate with their Uber if the data on their rides location and speed were laid out on a dashboard.
