Vinny Vijeyakumaar is the co-founder and managing partner of Sparkline, an analytics consulting firm. Prior to founding the company, Vinny was at Google for five years in Australia, New Zealand and Southeast Asia.
90 percent of the data that exists today has been created in the last two years. In the time it took you to read that last sentence, 11.6 terabytes of data was generated. That is equivalent to about 17,400 CD-ROMs. Data plays a huge role in modern businesses, especially so for startups.
The challenge, however, is that big data creates massive noise. To be able to use data in your business, you need to be able to cut through the noise, identify meaningful insights, and, most importantly, act upon them. Simple insights can help increase your user-base by multiples.
My expertise lies in measurement, data analysis, and business insights that deliver results. Prior to starting analytics consulting firm Sparkline, I was at Google for five years providing strategic counsel to advertisers, agencies and partners on free tools such as Google Analytics and Google’s Website Optimizer to increase website traffic and revenue, all without spending a single cent.
