Barr Moses
Barr Moses is the co-founder and CEO of Monte Carlo, the company that created the data observability category and built one of the first end-to-end platforms for catching what she named 'data downtime' - the stretches when data is wrong, missing, or simply not trustworthy. A Stanford-trained mathematician and former Israeli Air Force intelligence data unit commander, she went from Bain consulting and a VP role at Gainsight to building a data reliability company valued at $1.6 billion. She co-authored O'Reilly's 'Data Quality Fundamentals' and is one of the most cited voices on why enterprises should treat broken data like broken software.
