Matt’s Bio >

Matt Spence is the Director, Enterprise Data Management at Farm Credit Canada. He has 15 years of analytic experience in a variety of roles in the Finance and Insurance business. The majority of this time was spent as an analyst and heavy data user creating and maintaining credit risk models to help FCC estimate default and loss rates. This included implementing analytic platforms and modelling software to improve the user experience and accelerate development and implementation of analytics and models. For the last 4 years he has been in IT leading the enterprise data & analytics team that has drastically changed how FCC collaborates using its unique data.

Here is what Matt is going to talk about >

FCC uses its focus on continuous analytics to understand our customer journey, risk management, marketing plan, and how agricultural data supports farmers/farming. Continuous advancement of enterprise data & analytics is a twofold problem that involves both improving data availability/quality and changing the culture around analysis and decision making. The presentation touches on both aspects of the change and how FCC has improved how we work together across business lines to provide quick insights and advance how data is leveraged to enhance rural Canada including farms & businesses related to farming.
