Google Exec to Deliver Day 2 Keynote at MURTEC Executive Summit
Operators must choose wisely when deciding what data is good data. Analytics is a top strategic goal for 39% of restaurant technology investments in 2017, and its importance can’t be undervalued. However in an age of an overabundance of data, businesses need to crystallize what’s real, what’s “fake” or skewed and how to avoid the pitfalls of living in a data-hungry industry and world.
In the day two opening keynote titled: "Calling BS on Big Data," Janneke van Geuns, head of insights & analytics, food, beverage & restaurants for Google, will cut through data misconceptions to get to actionable best practices that will help restaurant operators do analytics right. Through her experiences across the restaurant industry, she will help attendees realize how to engage data to empower their companies.
Janneke van Geuns is head of insights & analytics at Google. She is leading a team of analysts who are responsible for taking analytics and search intent data to tell stories, drive strategy and prove impact for Google’s large food, beverage and restaurant advertisers. Before joining Google, van Geuns was a director of strategic analytics at creative advertising agency FCB. Originally from Amsterdam, The Netherlands, she moved to the United States 9 years ago to get her M.Sc in integrated marketing communications at Northwestern University where she specialized in marketing analytics.
