His journey began back in 2014 when he was serving as head of product engineering at chemical demand force. Dealing with 19 different data silos, Jay was faced with the challenge of providing a unified view of disparate data sources for the purpose of creating embedded analytics products for clients. The prevalent market advice was to centralize the data, perform transformation and then analysis, a process that would consume tremendous resources and time. Displeased with this proposition, Jay saw an opportunity to create a more effective, efficient solution, leading to the inception of Knowi.com. Years later, Jay's innovative vision still holds relevant in the ever-evolving data landscape.
