Welcome to a brand new year of The Present Beyond Measure Show! Hopefully you enjoyed the 2015 Year in Review Holiday Special. I know I had way too much fun recording it!
Now let’s dive into 2016 with our first esteemed guest….
Stéphane Hamel is a renowned industry expert on all things analytics and the creator of the Digital Analytics Maturity Model, a framework used by many organizations to assess their analytics readiness.
I first encountered Stéphane when participating in his Roadmap to Analytics Success workshop at eMetrics DC in 2009. I was relatively new to the analytics field, and his balanced, authoritative teachings helped set me on a passionate path for decoding our visitor’s behavior.
Stéphane has over twenty-five years’ experience empowering organizations to analyze and optimize their online channels. He has cemented his position as a leading voice for digital analytics and online optimization.
Stéphane was named “Most Influential Industry Contributor” by the Digital Analytics Association in 2013. And since our first meeting, we’ve caught up at various industry engagements as speakers, and he has graciously helped in my professional speaking growth as well.
