Jasper de Vries

CTO & Co-Founder at YourBI

Speaker

Jasper de Vries is co-founder and CTO at YourBI, and the architect of hospitality’s open data intelligence foundation.

He spends most of his time in the field. He speaks with large groups to map their data needs, and with technology partners to track where the infrastructure is heading. Between the two, he has learned what a restaurant data strategy needs to hold up in the age of AI: speed, freedom and governance.

Most groups have to give one up. Build in-house, and they lose speed. Outsource to a vendor, and they lose freedom. Let everyone prompt their own AI, and they lose governance. Jasper argues for a system of checks and balances instead.

He shares practical strategies for building that system as groups scale: what to keep in-house, what to outsource, and how open standards, data context and data governance align boardroom and floor.
