Episode notes
Greg Hood has spent over 20 years as a finance executive inside Canadian and US fintechs and financial services firms. He built Sky Site Analytics to help PE firms, sell-side M&A advisors, and high-growth companies fix the data layer before buyers find it first. We cover the dirty data discount, what actually breaks during exit, and why the back office is always the last to get the budget it needs. If you have ever sat across from a buy-side team watching trust drain out of a room because three reports show three different revenue numbers, this conversation is for you. Greg and I have worked in the same trenches long enough to know that the data problem is almost never a technology problem. It is a process problem wearing a technology disguise.
