​The first Monday of every month in NYC is CryptoMondays Wall Street. December 1st, we're excited to host Special Guests CryptoMondays Wall Street — Year in Review Presented by Vault12, Power Women, NyXXt, Valmar Capital & Solidus Labs

LOOKING FORWARD LOOKING BACK

📅 December 1 \| 6:00–8:30 PM 📍 Sojourner Gallery, 178 Bleecker St, 2nd Floor, NYC Current Exihbition: Glistening Water artist Alena Ahrens invites viewers into a contemplative encounter with color, perception, and the quiet movement of time. Her paintings unfold like slow breaths—each layer of pigment, gradient, and gesture forming a rhythm that is less seen than felt. Drawing from both Color Field painting and the ritualistic processes of material transformation, Ahrens turns color into a vessel of reflection, a surface where memory and awareness meet.

We’re closing out the year with a special edition session: Looking Forward, Looking Back — the Web3 market recap + trend forecast that every founder, investor, and operator needs before the new year.

Jaja Finance is on a mission to empower customers to buy, borrow, and build, driven by technology, fuelled by data, and built for the future. But internally, the data team faced fragmented ways of working: non-standard modelling, limited transparency across teams, slow time-to-serve, all while navigating governance needs. In just one year, the team built a resilient, transparent, scalable data foundation by consolidating all data on Snowflake and standardizing development in Coalesce. 

In this session, Sarah Tolfrey, Head of Data Operations shares Jaja’s foundation-first playbook, from templating and data quality to iterative feedback loops that helped unlock:

•5x faster delivery on complex and unstructured data •Same-day turnarounds for change requests with downstream impact checks •30% faster development on complex projects usingCoalesceAI-powered Copilot, and  •47% reduction in model compute costs •Improved onboarding and cross-team visibility. This transformation opened the door to cutting-edge AI projects and broader analytics use across the business, accelerating Jaja’s mission to serve customers with speed, intelligence, and confidence.

Practicing analytics well takes more than just tools and tech. It requires data modeling practices that unify and empower all teams within analytics, from engineers to analysts. This is especially true as AI becomes a part of analytics. Without a governed data model that provides consistent data interpretation, AI tools are left to guess. Join panelists Joe Reis, Sarah Levy, Harry Gollop, Rob Hulme, Shachar Meir, and Guy Fighel, as they share battle-tested advice on overcoming conflicting definitions and accurately mapping business intent to data, reports and dashboards at scale. This panel is for data & analytics engineers seeking a clear framework to capture business logic across layers, and for data leaders focused on building a reliable foundation for Gen AI.
