Keep Calm and Collaborate: Creating a fun, data culture that works
Written by The Count Team
"Keep Calm and Collaborate: Discover how Nicole leads Katoo's data culture, transforming restaurant-supplier dynamics with Count. Dive into data-driven decision-making and collaboration."
Nicole is the passionate Data and Insights lead at Katoo, a startup digitizing the relationship between restaurants and suppliers. She recently sat with Count Head Evangelist Mico Yuk for a wide-ranging interview that covers her rapid journey from analyst to data leader, how to collaborate using data, the purpose of data in decision-making, and how Count helped her and Katoo grow into data maturity.
Nicole, Katoo, and Count: growing together
Nicole joined Katoo early as an operations intern and grew alongside them to become the Data and Insights lead in just a few years. Katoo changes how restaurant owners interact with their suppliers by replacing paper and phone-based order placement and tracking with an intuitive app. This generates a ton of new data that the industry didn’t have before and makes it easy for restaurants to track profitability and reduce waste. As the volume and usefulness of data grew, Nicole’s role expanded to eventually head the data team, and Count was there to help her every step of the way.
