In this episode, hosts Laks Srinivasan and Charlie Stack are joined by Jon Francis, Head of Global Analytics and Decision Sciences at PayPal, who shares how he used the wrong approach early on in his career at Starbucks and what he learned from both AI-Oriented companies as well as gut-driven companies throughout his trajectory in companies such as Amazon, Nike, and T-Mobile.
