RSG Group – the global fitness powerhouse behind Gold’s Gym, McFIT, and JOHN REED – modernized its fragmented, manual data infrastructure into a scalable, low-maintenance analytics platform using Snowflake, Fivetran, and Coalesce. With a lean team and growing data needs across 900+ studios in 30 countries, the company replaced brittle pipelines and slow onboarding with automated ingestion, governed transformations, and self-service analytics. In this session, Head of Data & Business Intelligence Christopher Rüge will share how RSG Group reduced data integration time from 80 hours to 30 minutes, established end-to-end lineage and GDPR compliance with Coalesce, enabled data-driven decisions, and a strong foundation for AI use cases like personalization, churn prediction, and operational insights.

At this session, Sascha Urban, VP of Data at Blinkist, will reveal how his team went from data chaos to driving measurable business impact. Learn the three mindset shifts that freed up 30% of engineering time and turned a cost center into a true revenue driver.
