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.

We’re improving DataFramed, and we need your help! We want to hear what you have to say about the show, and how we can make it more enjoyable for you—find out more here. Imagine spending millions on data tools only to find you can’t trust the answers they provide. What if different teams define key metrics in different ways? Without a clear, unified approach, chaos reigns, and confidence erodes. What role do data governance and semantic layers play in helping you trust the AI tools you build and the insights you get from your data? Sarah Levy is a seasoned executive with extensive experience in data science, artificial intelligence, and technology leadership. Currently serving as Co-Founder and CEO of Euno since January 2023, Sarah has previously held significant positions, including VP of Data Science and Data Analytics for Real Estate at Pagaya and CTO at Sight Diagnostics, where innovative advancements in blood testing were achieved. With a strong foundation in research and development from roles at Sight Diagnostics and Natural Intelligence, as well as a robust background in cyber security gained from tenure at the IDF, Sarah has consistently driven impactful decision-making and technological advancements throughout their career. Academic credentials include a Master's degree in Condensed Matter Physics from the Weizmann Institute of Science and a Bachelor's degree in Mathematics and Physics from The Hebrew University of Jerusalem. In the episode, Richie and Sarah explore the challenges of data governance, the role of semantic layers in ensuring data trust, the emergence of analytics engineers, the integration of AI in data processes, and much more.

Adopting dbt marks a significant leap towards governed data transformations. But with every game-changer, big questions arise: Where do data transformations end? Should they touch the BI layer? What roles do data engineers, analytics engineers, and business analysts play in data modeling? And, is centralizing metrics truly beneficial? Spoiler: It's about finding the balance between freedom and governance.

Our expert panelists will share best practices for scaling dbt to handle transformations and metrics without stifling analyst freedom or causing team burnout. You'll learn how to build a robust metrics layer in dbt and manage business logic as your data operation grows, all by establishing a solid foundation with dbt.

Data Modernization at international jewelry brand Tous: Migrating to cloud

by Xavier Martin Ferrer, head of Data @ Tous

Discover how dbt helped Tous to transform siloed data from SAP (sales and stocks) and their CRM into a data model accessible by teams across the organization.

Should we build this in Looker or dbt?

by Sarah Levy, Co-Founder & CEO @ Euno

Despite dbt's game changing impact on data modeling, issues like misused documentation, duplicate metrics, and siloed logic continue to hinder a unified source of truth. This talk proposes a 'reverse flow' approach, automating the integration of business logic crafted by analysts within Looker into dbt, and answering: When do data teams use Looker and when do they use dbt? What are 3 overlooked challenges of scaling dbt when most analysts use Looker? What's the best way to govern business logic with Looker and DBT?
