Datacast Episode 101: Scaling Data Engineering, Building Data Teams, and Managed Data Stack with Tarush Aggarwal

Tarush Aggarwal is one of the leading experts in leveraging data for exponential growth, with over ten years of experience in the field.

After graduating with a degree in Computer Engineering from Carnegie Mellon in 2011, he became the first data engineer on the analytics team at Salesforce.com. Data was in its infancy, and the log metric framework he built was critical in allowing Salesforce to analyze data across customers and provide benchmarks across different industries and verticals.

Most recently, Tarush led Data for WeWork. WeWork leveraged data to grow 10x in 3 years, supporting a footprint of 800+ offices in 120+ cities in 23+ countries with over 12,000 employees, making WeWork one of the fastest-growing companies in the world. He scaled the data org from 2 to 100+, and their unique approach allowed them to stay lean while supporting every functional area of the business. In 2019, he moved to China to help establish WeWork’s Asia operations and focus on the hyper-growing Chinese market.
