Bill Inmon – Father of the Data Warehouse

In this episode, Giuliano Giannetti sits down with ⁠Bill Inmon ⁠— the father of the data warehouse — to talk about how modern data thinking actually began, and why its original ideas still matter today.

Bill reflects on a time when data was used only for transaction processing, why his ideas were once considered heresy, and how business — not IT — pushed the data warehouse into existence. Along the way, he shares his own path: from mathematician and outspoken critic of IT culture to reluctant entrepreneur, learning the hard way what it takes to stand by your ideas.
