Before the pandemic, Robert Sfeir's focus was data and process optimization. The pandemic showed him the importance of understanding the customer and designing products for humans. Now, with the rise of AI, he believes that prioritizing culture and humanity, along with process and data, will be crucial.

Join him as he explores how to integrate people first into the data story to enhance customer success and avoid losing our humanity in the digital age. When scaling fully remote teams, consider how understanding people can drive both profit and positive impact.

Key takeaways:

• The more you scale, the more you embrace AI, the deeper you need to anchor in the human aspect of your work.
