S6 Bonus: Garbage In, Garbage Out: How Claravine Restructured Enterprise Data Management with Verl Allen

Prior to his current venture, Verl Allen spent 12 years at Adobe. During that time, he was raising 3 kids as a single Dad, so you can imagine that during that time, it took a large part of his focus. Outside of his profession and family, he loves to ride road bikes 3-4 hours a week, but in particular, long distance rides (to the tune of 200 miles in a single day). He is also a runner, which he finds takes less time to get a good workout in.

During his time at Adobe, Verl noticed a problem emerging with his exposure to acquisitions. He saw that the acquisitions were merging at the process level, but were not doing this down to the data level. When he found out about his current gig, the product was attempting to solve a specific use case of this problem, but was sorta falling over.

This is Verl's creation story of Claravine.
