What's up everyone, today we have the pleasure of sitting down with David Joosten, Co-Founder and President at GrowthLoop and the co-author of ‘First-Party Data Activation'.(00:00) - Intro (01:02) - In This Episode (03:47) - Earning The Right To Transform Martech (08:17) - Why Internal Roadshows Make Martech Wins Stick (10:52) - Architecture Shapes How Teams Move and What They Believe (16:25) - Bring Order to Customer Data With the Medallion Framework (21:33) - The Real Enemy of Martech is Fragmented Data (28:39) - Stop Calling Your CRM the Source of Truth (34:47) - Building the Tech Stack People Rally Behind (38:18) - Why Most CDP Failures Start With Organizational Misalignment (44:18) - Why Tough Conversations Strengthen Lifecycle Marketing (55:15) - Why Experimentation Culture Strengthens Martech Leadership (01:00:00) - How to Use a North Star to Stay Focused in Leadership Summary: David learned that martech transformation begins with proof people can feel. Early in his career, he built immaculate systems that looked impressive but delivered nothing real. Everything changed when a VP asked him to show progress instead of idealistic roadmaps. From that moment, David focused on momentum and quick wins. Those early victories turned into stories that spread across the company and built trust naturally. Architecture became his silent advantage, shaping how teams worked together and how confidently they moved. About DavidDavid is the co-founder of GrowthLoop, a composable customer data platform that helps marketers connect insights to action across every channel. He previously worked at Google, where he led global marketing programs and helped launch the Nexus 5 smartphone. Over the years, he has guided teams at Indeed, Priceline, and Google in building first-party data strategies that drive clarity, collaboration, and measurable growth.He is the co-author of First-Party Data Activation: Modernize Your Marketing Data Platform, a practical guide for marketers who want to understand their customers through direct, consent-based interactions. David helps teams move faster by removing data friction and building marketing systems that adapt through experimentation. His work brings energy and empathy to the challenge of modernizing data-driven marketing.Earning The Right To Transform MartechEvery marketing data project starts with ambition. Teams dream of unified dashboards, connected pipelines, and a flawless single source of truth. Then the build begins, and progress slows to a crawl. David remembers one project vividly. His team at GrowthLoop had connected more than 200 data fields for a global tech company, yet every new campaign still needed more. The setup looked impressive, but nothing meaningful was shipping.“We spent quarters building the perfect setup,” David said. “Then the VP of marketing called me and said, ‘Where are my quick wins?'”That question changed his thinking. The VP wasn't asking for reports or architecture diagrams. He wanted visible proof that the investment was worth it. He needed early wins he could show to leadership to keep momentum alive. David realized that transformation happens through demonstration, not design. Theoretical perfection means little when no one in marketing can point to progress.From then on, he started aiming for traction over theory. That meant focusing on use cases that delivered impact quickly. He looked for under-supported teams that were hungry to try new tools, small markets that moved fast, and forgotten product lines desperate for attention. Those early adopters created visible success stories. Their enthusiasm turned into social proof that carried the project forward.Momentum built through results is what earns the right to transform. When others in the organization see evidence of progress, they stop questioning the system and start asking how to join it.Key takeaway: Martech transformations thrive on proof, not perfection. Target high-energy teams where quick wins are possible, deliver tangible outcomes fast, and use that momentum to secure organizational buy-in. Transformation is granted to those who prove it works, one visible success at a time.Why Internal Roadshows Make Martech Wins StickAn early martech win can disappear as quickly as it arrives. A shiny dashboard, a clean sync, or a new workflow can fade into noise unless you turn it into something bigger. David explains that the real work begins when you move beyond Slack celebrations and start building visibility across the company. The most effective teams bring their success to where influence actually happens. They show up in weekly leadership meetings for sales, data, and marketing, and they connect their progress to the company's larger mission. That connection transforms an isolated result into shared purpose.“If you can get invited to those regular meetings and actually tie the win back to the larger vision, you'll bring people along in a much bigger way,” David said.The mechanics of this matter. A martech team can create genuine momentum by turning their story into a live narrative that other departments care about. Each meeting becomes a checkpoint where others see how their world benefits. Instead of flooding channels with metrics, show impact in person. When people see faces, hear real stories, and feel included in the mission, adoption follows naturally.David has seen that the most credible voices are not the ones who built the system, but those who benefited from it. He encourages marketers to bring those users along. When a sales manager or a CX leader shares how a workflow saved hours or unlocked new visibility, trust deepens. One authentic endorsement in a meeting will do more for your reputation than a dozen slide decks.Momentum also depends on rhythm. Passionate advocates move ideas forward, not mass announcements. David's playbook involves building a few strong allies who believe in your work, keeping promises, and maintaining a consistent drumbeat of delivery. Predictable progress creates confidence, and confidence earns permission to take bigger swings next time.Key takeaway: Wins that stay private fade fast. Present them live, in front of the right rooms, and connect them to the company's shared mission. Bring along the people most impacted to tell their side of the story, and focus on nurturing a few genuine allies instead of broadcasting to everyone. That way you can turn one early success into a pattern of momentum that fuels every project that follows.Architecture Shapes How Teams Move and What They BelieveTechnology architecture does more than keep the lights on. It defines how much teams trust each other, how quickly they adapt, and how confidently a brand competes. David describes it as invisible scaffolding, the kind that quietly dictates how an organization moves. Once the systems are in place, the defaults harden into habits. Those habits shape behavior long after anyone remembers who set them.“People can get used to almost anything,” David said. “You acquire habits from architectural decisions made long ago, and it's not conscious. You just walk into the context and act within it.”That pattern shows up inside every marketing organization. Data teams often build for accuracy and control, while marketers push for agility and access. The architecture decides which side wins. When the design prioritizes risk management, marketers spend months waiting for queries to be approved. When it prioritizes freedom without governance, trust breaks down the first time a campaign misfires. Neither version scales.Composable system...

We join a fair number of projects, and we often help teams bring their project up to our standard. This means bringing a lot of the same small pieces from project to project.In the latest episode of the No Compromises podcast, we rethink our “project standard” repo. Instead of a full Laravel skeleton, we propose a composable library of tool-specific, versioned configs (PHPUnit, Docker, etc.). We walk through the benefits for greenfield and legacy work, open questions about test organization, and how this approach scales as tools evolve.(00:00) - Why we keep our tooling current (00:15) - The “project standard” repo is aging (01:30) - Reference guide vs installable skeleton (02:30) - Supporting old and new stacks (versions, tags) (03:30) - Pivot: organize by tool and version, not app (04:30) - Example plan: folders for PHPUnit 11/12 (and beyond) (05:15) - What belongs where? Tests, traits, and context (10:00) - Docker-first thinking; where Horizon config lives (11:15) - Open questions: PHPUnit vs Pest vs “testing” folder (12:15) - Takeaway: evolve the repo as the tools evolve (12:45) - Silly bit Want help making your project as organized as one of our projects?

In this episode, I speak with Shiri Mosenzon Erez, Chief Product Officer at commercetools, a global leader in enterprise composable commerce that supports thousands of retailers in hundreds of countries, enabling tens of billions of dollars in revenue annually. Shiri's career journey has taken her from consulting into her first product role at Tesco, through product leadership at Ocado, and now leading at a scale-up with a global enterprise footprint. We cover a lot, including: What commercetools does: An API-first, composable commerce engine powering online trade for major global enterprises and manufacturers, enabling flexibility, resilience, and constant uptime for B2C and B2B commerce. Composable commerce explained: Allowing customers to mix and match best-of-breed components across the commerce value stream or opting for "pre-composed" solutions built on the same composable foundation. Strategic focus in a flexible platform: How the team decides where to build, buy, or partner, using value stream mapping to prioritise and avoid being pulled in too many directions. AI and agents in commerce: From data tagging to conversational assistants and dynamic pricing, Shiri shares early enterprise adoption patterns and the role of commercetools' MCP layer in letting customers plug in the agents they trust. Product team structure: A 55-person product org spanning UX, product management, and close engineering partnerships, with domain-focused teams and a strong CPO–CTO pairing model. Balancing explore vs exploit: Encouraging teams to pivot to higher-value domains when propositions mature, and celebrating decisions to stop work that's no longer impactful. Customer-led vs strategy-led delivery: Using proactive roadmap communication to align big customer requests with company strategy and KPIs, turning reactive asks into collaborative problem-solving. Technical and business balance in PMs: Moving from a largely technical PM base toward a mix of skills, with growing focus on business value and direct engagement with business stakeholders. Leadership approach: Shiri's focus on connecting product strategy to company strategy, advocating at the executive level, and ensuring her teams feel purpose, autonomy, and mastery in their work.

CDPs have long promised unified, personalized marketing, but legacy systems often create new data silos, slow implementation, and lock-in. Join this episode of DM Radio as host Eric Kavanagh interviews Adam Greco, Product Evangelist at Hightouch to explore a disruptive new approach: the composable CDP. By operating directly on top of the data warehouse and embracing a zero-copy, warehouse-native architecture, Hightouch eliminates redundancy and empowers marketers with real-time access to trusted data, no engineering tickets required. Learn how this model fosters collaboration between data and marketing teams, enhances privacy compliance, reduces vendor lock-in, and sets the stage for scalable AI-driven personalization. Whether you're tired of bloated martech stacks or simply seeking smarter customer engagement, this conversation will reshape how you think about CDPs.
Fredrik talks to Matt Topol about Arrow and how the Arrow ecosystem is evolving. Arrow is an open source, columnar in-memory data format designed for efficient data processing and analytics - which means passing data between things without needing to transform it, and ideally even without needing to copy it. What makes the ecosystem grow, and why is it very cool to have Arrow on the GPU? What is the connection between Arrow, machine learning, and Hugging face? Matt emphasizes the value of open standards, even as they work with or within more closed systems they can help open things up, and help bring about more modular solutions so that developers can focus on doing their core area really well. This episode can be seen as a follow-up to episode 567, where Matt first joined to discuss everything Arrow. Recorded during Øredev 2024. Thank you Cloudnet for sponsoring our VPS!

Over the past ten years, Chris Bach has been at the forefront of the transformation of web development. Chris coined the term "Jamstack," which refers to one of the first conceptions of a composable web architecture (the acronym JAM accounts for the JavaScript, APIs, and markdown that make up a simple decoupled web system). He also founded Netlify, a company that supports these new architectures and which now serves tens of millions of customers. https://ellessmedia.com/csi/chris-bach/

Boosting LLM/RAG Workflows & Scheduling w/ Composable Memory and Checkpointing // MLOps Podcast #270 with Bernie Wu, VP Strategic Partnerships/Business Development of MemVerge. // Abstract Limited memory capacity hinders the performance and potential of research and production environments utilizing Large Language Models (LLMs) and Retrieval-Augmented Generation (RAG) techniques. This discussion explores how leveraging industry-standard CXL memory can be configured as a secondary, composable memory tier to alleviate this constraint. We will highlight some recent work we've done in integrating of this novel class of memory into LLM/RAG/vector database frameworks and workflows. Disaggregated shared memory is envisioned to offer high performance, low latency caches for model/pipeline checkpoints of LLM models, KV caches during distributed inferencing, LORA adaptors, and in-process data for heterogeneous CPU/GPU workflows. We expect to showcase these types of use cases in the coming months. // Bio Bernie is VP of Strategic Partnerships/Business Development for MemVerge.

There is a lot of talk about headless, composable, MACH, and the like these days. And I can say from personal experience that there are many instances where they are the perfect fit. But, as with any technology solution, it's not always a one-size-fits-all. Sometimes headless isn't the right fit, or a more nuanced approach is needed. Today we're going to talk about this as well as how low-code or no-code solutions can help teams make the most of their website redesign. To help me discuss this topic, I'd like to welcome Liz Spranzani, Chief Technology Officer, EVP of Technology at Verndale.
