Data Sips is a new video miniseries presented by Ippon Technologies and DATAVERSITY that showcases quick conversations with industry experts from last month’s Data Governance & Information Quality (DGIQ) Conference in Washington, D.C. 

The ninth episode of the Data Sips series features Malcolm Hawker, head of data strategy at Profisee, chatting with host Steve MacLauchlan, head of data at Ippon. Steve also hosts a longer version of the series called The Data Pour, where he sits down with data professionals over drinks.

In the interview, Malcolm explains how embracing a positive “data hero” mindset can help organizations tackle their data challenges, and why he loves to speak at DGIQ. (Malcolm gave one of the keynote presentations at the most recent event.) “When you come to this conference, there is a palpable sense of community,” he says.
