We met Mitch Roling through our extended recruiting engagement with eMarketer and saw the significant contributions Mitch made to that fast-scaling organization through his data fluency. Mitch gained skills and experience that he was ultimately able to build into his own consultancy, My Dataist (hyperlink). Today he’s advising a host of clients around their data needs— and, of course, he’s our trusted go-to for anything data-related.
