Ep 02 - Using Data to Power Performance with Mel Stephenson

On today’s episode I’m joined by serial entrepreneur and data rockstar Mel Stephenson. Mel is the MD at Interworks Europe a business helping clients find actionable insight in the mountains of data they generate each day, helping them make better decisions and run more effective companies.
