Paras Doshi (Head of Data, Opendoor; former data leader at Amazon) joins High Signal to unpack the playbook for building an indispensable data function. He shares his experience tackling the classic scaling challenge of fragmented data at Opendoor, where rapid growth led to inconsistent metrics across the business, and turning the data function into a centralized strategic asset.

We dive deep into how to earn a true seat at the table, why he believes AI is creating the "100x individual contributor," and how the principles of agency, autonomy, and adaptability are the new essentials for data careers.
