Josh Braaten - Optimizing Systems to Create Better Outcomes Using Machine Learning

The conversation this week is with Josh Braaten. Josh is the CEO of Brandata where he and his team use brand measurement, consumer insights, and growth solutions to turn fast-moving companies into market leaders. Prior to Brand Data, Josh was a Senior Director of Marketing at Lead Pages.  From venture-backed startups to Fortune 500 companies, Josh has developed his skills in high-growth digital marketing environments by working with brands that want to grow fast. As a business consultant, turned technologist turned marketer turned entrepreneur, I can't wait to talk with Josh about his career path and where he sees the future of artificial intelligence going in a variety of industries.
