NRF 2023 Wash-Up: What were our highlights?
NRF trend reports are everywhere this week, so we thought we’d do something different. Highlight the 5 things we actually enjoyed most about NRF.
Data Acquisition Architect – Insights Team.
Getting all clients’ data from all their systems into the app quickly and accurately.
The people I work with day in day out.
I was a technical BI consultant in the U.S. for 7 years prior to joining Quorso. Most recently with Slalom Consulting.
1 – Quorso Series A funding round
2 – 2019 Cara Summer Social

New trends around data & analytics. Bitcoin. Nutrition. Mental & physical health. Sports.
Billion-dollar(s) market cap.
Psychologist.
Living in the mountains (which I also do now). I’m not living for a future state. I’m just living.
Through an old friend from Graduate school. I believed in Dan and Julian’s vision right away. Quorso felt categorically ahead of everything else I’ve seen in the D&A space up to this point in my career.
Igor.
Dan Slowe.
My Nintendo Switch.
Excercise. It completely clears my brain and I’m able to get through any kind of work with ease if I’ve had a really great exercise session that day or the previous day.
Exercise, hiking, and indulging in really delicious food.
David Goggins, Tom Brady, Michael Jordan, Chamath Palihapitiya, Naval Ravikant, Kobe Bryant. I probably listen to quotes from these guys every day.
Sports teams using Quorso to identify underperforming players based on comparing similar players on similar types of teams within a particular sport and then creating plans for players to improve based on peer training habits, etc.
2010 Canadian Olympic hockey team. “Iginla. To Crosby. Scores. Crosby scores!”

Ask questions. Build connections. Don’t be afraid to do things no one else is doing.
