Good data leads to good insights. Bad data just leads to more bad data. In this episode of Wake Up, the podcast by Veeam, host Rick Vanover sits down with Zeus Kerravala, independent analyst and former CIO, for a candid conversation about why data quality is the real barrier to AI success - and why the organizations that figure that out first will win. Together they explore why trust is becoming the next great brand differentiator, what leaders get wrong when they chase big AI moonshots, and why right now, the risk of standing still is far greater than the risk of moving forward. Veeam is the Data and AI Trust Company, combining data protection, security, and AI to help organizations keep their data available, trusted, and recoverable across every environment.
