About Sebastian Hewing
Over the last 18 years I have built and led data teams across all continents - except Antarctica. But my first data leadership job almost broke me:It was 2010.At 29 years old, I led the data team of the world’s largest venture builder (Rocket Internet).Rocket Internet scaled companies such as:→ Zalando (Europe\'s leading online fashion platform)→ Delivery Hero (a leading food delivery platform)→ HelloFresh (the world\'s leading meal kit delivery company)→ Lazada (the Amazon.com of SouthEast Asia, exited to Alibaba)→ Jumia (the first African company on the NYSE).I saw those companies and data teams grow from tiny startups into massive, global market leaders.And even though we built data teams for 7 companies in 15 countries, I struggled. hard.→ We were drowning in ad-hoc requests instead of shaping strategy.→ We were shipping dashboards instead of outcomes.→ And ultimately stakeholders didn’t trust what we built.→ And my influence, impact and personal growth hit a ceiling. Over the following years, I became a trusted advisor to Founders and CEOs by building winning data teams for 50+ companies.The one thing I realized over all those years after leaving Rocket Internet: I was lacking an operating system for building winning data teams.So, I created it.The Data Team Adjusted Lean Canvas Framework transforms how data teams create value based on best practices from- data engineering- product management- marketing - behavioral science- and entrepreneurship.In my Data Strategy Masterclass, I have helped hundreds of growth-oriented data experts from 40+ countries become more influential by applying my framework and by building impactful data teams in the age of AI.Favorite testimonial: “I got more value from your $350 course than a University of Berkeley executive education course.”→ Find out more at ← P.S: My biggest passion besides Data, AI & Entrepreneurship is traveling. After 2 years of \"digital nomading\", I now have a home-base in Taipei, but I typically spend 5-6 months per year traveling. I have been to 100+ countries and territories.
