Considered one of the most progressive and talented baseball
executives in the game today, Billy Beane has molded the Oakland
Athletics into one of professional baseball’s most consistent
winners since taking over as General Manager following the 1997
season. Mr. Beane shattered traditional MLB beliefs that big
payrolls equated wins by implementing a data analytics methodology
that led the Oakland A’s to six American League West Division
Titles. That strategic methodology has come to be known as the
“Moneyball” philosophy, named for the best-selling book and
Oscar-nominated film chronicling Mr. Beane’s journey from General
Manager to hero to celebrated management genius. Mr. Beane is a
two-time Major League Baseball Executive of the Year.
“I’m really excited to attend MicroStrategy World 2018 to
discuss how the Moneyball philosophy can be applied to any
organization. Analytics has the power to turn everyone, not just
the data scientists, into data-driven decision makers,” said Mr.
Beane.
“MicroStrategy is thrilled to welcome Billy Beane to
MicroStrategy World 2018, one of the year’s most anticipated events
for data analytics,” said Mark Gambill, CMO, MicroStrategy
Incorporated. “We serve a wide array of customers and strategic
partners across industries and around the globe. Billy’s amazing
story, implementing a culture of analytics within the Oakland
Athletics’ organization, transcends sports and can help our
attendees consider how they too can challenge the status quo and
transform their big data into valuable insights to drive business
success.”
