We will act as guardians and gatekeepers of data shielding our customers from data issues while collaborating with data sources to address problems at their root. We will own and maintain "golden" datasets — centralized, reliable data assets commonly used across teams to train ML models and deliver top-notch personalized storefront experience, that is unique for every PV end-customer.
