EP 67: Jeff Krimmel from Krimmel Strategy Group

If you've ever wrestled with messy datasets, legacy code, or trying to get executives to actually *use* data, you’ll get a kick out of this one. We sat down with Jeff Krimmel from Krimmel Strategy Group to talk shop about how he’s helping energy companies turn their mountain of data into real-world strategy. We hit everything from making peace with Fortran (yep, still kicking) to getting smart about tools like Snowflake and Databricks, and even why asking better questions matters more than the data itself. Jeff’s got a sharp eye for cutting through the noise—and a knack for blending cold, hard numbers with human behavior. Whether you geek out on AI trends or just want your data dashboards to make more sense, this convo's got something for you.
