Enterprise Knowledge's Lulit Tesfaye, VP of Knowledge & Data Services, speaks with Mike Ferguson, CEO of Intelligent Business Strategies and Conference Chair of Big Data LDN, the largest data and analytics conference in Europe. With over 40 years of experience in the data space, Mike aims to help companies transition to become data- and AI-driven "intelligent" businesses.
In their conversation, Lulit and Mike discuss how he began and then expanded his career in data analytics, the intersection of the semantic layer and AI in the industry right now, and the importance of continuing to deliver value as we bridge the world of structured and unstructured data with AI. They also highlight the challenges faced by organizations and vendors with a lack of universal standards and consistent data governance.

Enterprise Knowledge's Lulit Tesfaye, VP of Knowledge & Data Services, speaks with Ole Olesen-Bagneux, Vice President & Chief Evangelist at Actian. He is a twice-published author with a BA, MA, and PhD in Library and Information Science from the University of Copenhagen, and consults for many large, European companies as an established thought leader on data catalogs and enterprise data management.
In their conversation, Lulit and Ole discuss how he turned his childhood hobbies of computers and literature into a career in data, what it means to be a "product-centric evangelist," and his experience writing books about data catalogs and metadata management. They also touch on how semantic priorities are changing within organizations in the age of AI.

Enterprise Knowledge COO Joe Hilger speaks with Michal Bachman, CEO at GraphAware. GraphAware provides technology and expertise for mission-critical graph analytics, and its graph-powered intelligence analysis platform -- Hume -- is used by democratic government agencies (law enforcement, intelligence, cybersecurity, defense) and Fortune 500 companies across the world.
In their conversation, Joe and Michal discuss how you can use a graph to investigate criminal networks, what's next with graphs (hint: ensuring trustworthy AI doesn't just mean supporting the machines), and some helpful books that experts at GraphAware have released recently.
