Digitizing brick & mortar fashion stores through Connected Retail Everything started back in 2015 when Zalando was already successful as an online fashion retailer in Europe. However, a B2B problem was identified that needed to be tackled: brick-and-mortar fashion stores need a way to increase their sales. Seeing the need to connect offline with online in order to help merchants solve this problem, is when I joined Zalando as a Product Manager in early 2016 at the newly established Helsinki

The worst thing about an inside job is that once it’s detected, it’s usually too late. Early detection is critical to prevent considerable damage arising out of insider threats to the business. But that’s easier said than done! Whether it’s a rogue trader in a bank or brokerage or someone illegally sharing company intellectual property or intelligence, illegal insider actions put enterprises at risk of losing millions.

While the Internet of Things (IoT) represents a significant opportunity, IoT architectures are often rigid, complex to implement, costly, and create a multitude of challenges for organizations. First of all, in order to effectively pull together an end-to-end architecture for IoT, organizations must manage multiple vendor solutions, validate that they work together, integrate them to ensure the right functionality, and provide for future enhancement compatibility.

Machine learning. The very name suggests there’s little involvement required from actual people. It’s a bit surprising to note, then, that perhaps the most limiting factor in data science and machine learning today is people. People add complexity. People add the risk of error. And people add a lot of time. However, we’ll always need people to come up with the overarching prediction problems to solve and to make the ultimate choices to solve them, but there is a lot of data science work now that

Woodworking is one of my passions and I often use wooden pallets as my source material. Regardless of what I build—whether a shelf, chair, or bookcase—I always use the same things: Wood, tools, and a plan that shows dimensions and steps to put all the bits together. The other day, it struck me how similar this is to how organizations digitally transform and become data-driven.
