Unbridled Curiosity w/ Victor Szczerba

Solving big, hairy problems. That is how today’s guest, Victor Szczerba, describes entrepreneurship. 

Victor spent much of his career working with some of the largest Data Management Businesses in the world, including SAP and Microsoft.  And it was during this time that he saw a customer problem that needed to be solved, which led to him forming his company, Yeti Data - a virtual marketing data warehouse. 

But Victor isn’t all about data, throughout his successful career, he’s learned the value of people, relationships, and collaboration. He said: “The magic about working with people is astounding. If you really want to get something done beyond yourself, you have to do it with leverage. Leveraging the amazing skill sets of the people around you is the key.”

In our conversation, we discuss the necessity of unbridled curiosity as an entrepreneur, why it’s important to focus on the problem and not fall in love with a certain solution, and the value of learning how to think, not just what to think.
