Pickaxe in the Wild
In mid-March, Gabe Fabius joined Sean Kilcullen, Group Product Manager at Amplitude, for a fireside chat about “Product Data: Fueling Enterprise Innovation”.
Last month, Eric Callahan participated in the Data Engineering Roadmap for AI Readiness, alongside our partners at Secoda.
For those of you who couldn’t make the webinar, Secoda have done a recap on their blog.
Meanwhile, Eric has an exciting schedule ahead, with two upcoming conferences in April:
- MDS Fest – April 8-12, 2024
- Open Data Science Conference (ODSC) – April 23-25, 2024
Leveling Up With Braze
We are excited to announce that Pickaxe has achieved Launch level status as a partner in the prestigious Braze Alloys ecosystem.
Earning this status involves meeting specific criteria such as accreditation, delivery outcomes, business performance, and platform adoption.
Pickaxe has collaborated closely with Braze and clients on successful projects including the Braze Torchie award-winning “Year in Review” campaign for Peacock, so we are thrilled to make our partnership with Braze official as part of the Braze Alloys program.
What's the Deal with Meridian?
Meet The Team - Eric Callahan
He’s been showing up at all the conferences this year, and we talk about him a lot, so it’s time to learn more about everyone’s favorite data guru: Eric Callahan!
What is your role at Pickaxe?
- I figure out how to use data to solve client problems, and then I build the solution.
- This also means I spend a lot of time learning about new cutting edge technologies and solutions, and sometimes even speak publicly about them.
What did you do before Pickaxe?
I spent about 10 years doing analytics in big corporations like AMEX and Wyndham before pivoting to Data Science and startups. I don’t plan to look back.
What do you do in your spare time?
Try my best to wrangle 2 kids and 3 cats.
I’m a big fan of NY sports teams (mostly the bad ones) and spend a bunch of time dragging my son to games. He will be brainwashed into a lifetime of misery soon!
You can follow Eric on LinkedIn or watch him in action at MDS Fest from April 8th-12th or at ODSC from April 23rd – 25th.
