From 1 to IPO: Growing the Data Team and Data Culture at GitLab

ABOUT THE TALK:
When Taylor Murphy joined GitLab, they had just raised their Series C, had about 200 people, and he was the only person "doing data." Over the next 3 years, the company would 6x its total headcount and be on target to IPO, which it did in 2021, all while the demand for data and insights grew exponentially. This talk will detail that growth journey with a particular focus on how they built the data culture across the organization. Taylor will share what went well and what he would repeat, and he'll be honest about what he would do differently if he could go back in time and do it all again.

ABOUT THE SPEAKER:
Taylor Murphy is the Head of Product and Data at Meltano, an open source data platform that enables collaboration, efficiency, and visibility. Taylor has been deeply involved in leading and building data-informed teams his entire career.
