Episode #9: Data Chaos to Clarity: AMA With a Real-World Data Architect
In this live AMA, Distillery’s Head of Data, Emanuel Paz, shares what actually breaks in modern data ecosystems and how to fix it. From failed stack migrations to conflicting KPIs and messy governance, Ema walks through real-world data failures he’s seen (and helped repair) and offers strategic guidance for leaders who want to avoid the same pitfalls.
Episode Highlights:
In this episode, Emanuel Paz pulls back the curtain on common failure points inside real data ecosystems. He explains why large enterprises and fast-moving startups often end up in the same place: dashboards no one believes, pipelines that buckle under scale, and migrations that move chaos instead of solving it. Ema outlines what “data fundamentals” really mean today, from operating models and ownership to governance, data literacy, and architecture that supports trustworthy metrics.
The conversation stays practical, with lessons from the field and clear starting points for teams who suspect their foundation is shaky. Ema shares how to spot weak signals early, where to focus first (definitions, sources, vertical-by-vertical cleanup), and how to avoid shiny-object detours like rushing into AI before the basics are stable. The session closes with open Q&A so leaders can pressure-test their own challenges and leave with actionable next steps.
