Zach Ronstadt – Building with Data at Meritage Homes – EP.1
My first guest on House of Data is Zach Ronstadt. Zach is the VP of Strategic Operations at Meritage Homes and has spent the last 15 years creating a data and research team called Strategic Operations that supports their regional leaders with insights and data to make better decisions.
Zach and I talk about building trust as a data team with decision makers and what that process looks like over time, developing the ability to influence decisions without being the decision maker, how to be effective in a data role, and what data has told Zach about evolving consumer preferences in new homes.
