Most people assume that if you're a Fortune 500 company, your data is already in order. Jeremy Fraenkel, CEO and co-founder of Fundamental, would tell you otherwise. In conversation with Tanuja Randery, he explains why even the largest enterprises, built long before the age of AI on internal tools that were never designed to work together, find that having data and actually deriving value from it are two very different things. Fraenkel shares the thinking behind NEXUS, Fundamental's foundation model trained on billions of tables to help organisations predict what comes next, and the candid advice he gives every enterprise he works with: don't trust the benchmarks, try it for yourself and see the results. This episode offers leaders a clear perspective on structured data, building an AI company at speed, and how to move an organisation from scepticism to excitement about what generative AI can do.
