Lessons from Scaling Analytics at Lyft
12:30/13:10
I joined Lyft in February 2014 as the first analytics hire. Since then the business has grown over 100x to a transportation platform serving millions of riders and drivers every week. Analytics drove many of the key decisions that led to our growth, and this talk will cover how we did this and what we learned through the process. Topics will include the role of analytics, how to organize/scale analytics teams, how to hire analysts, prioritization and having impact, and the future of analytics.
