Chris Geiger
CEO of The Geiger Company“Think Data Group Managing Partner Barry Gold seems to know pretty much everyone and everything that matters in the data space. I call him the ‘King of all Data!” He is truly resourceful and knows how to connect the dots to convert a business need into a solution. This was just the beginning, though. I came to Barry looking for data but Barry patiently invested time to understand my situation and goals and then applied his industry and general business knowledge into counsel that guided me through several critical business decisions. I was so impressed that I invited him to join my Advisory Board.”

I’ve worked with Barry Gold for many years. He is exceedingly knowledgeable about the data space today, and remarkably prescient about where it’s going. He is also well-connected to a broad network of thought-leaders, innovators and practitioners.
These traits make him an invaluable advisor and collaborator who brings both insights and actionable ideas to the table. Barry also operates with complete integrity, transparency and honesty- plus a good dose of charm and humor! In my experience, his solutions-based approach to tackling challenges and capitalizing on opportunities has always produced tangible results.

At Think Data Group, we’re experts in bringing data opportunities to life. The data economy is still young. It offers businesses substantial untapped potential — beyond the imagination of many executives. We have extensive experience analyzing clients’ data, identifying lucrative assets, and launching products that deliver durable revenue streams with minimal costs.
Converting Data to Dollars
It’s commonly said that “data is the crude oil of the digital economy.” Yet the analogy is flawed. True, both products are valuable drivers of commerce. But oil is largely fungible. It can be sold anywhere.
In contrast, a data asset typically represents latent potential. It must be vetted for quality, matched with a target market, packaged, and offered through effective channels before it can attract buyers. And each asset is unique. Sometimes data products must be stitched together from disparate sources across the data supply chain.
Most companies don’t develop the in-house expertise to forge a vision and convert data into a profit-generating asset.
That’s Think Data Group’s role.
The data market is vast, complex, and fragmented. Buyers include marketers, retailers, manufacturers, hedge funds, risk managers, insurers, and many others. With such a broad landscape, it is easy for companies to miss major opportunities outside their core business.
Monetizing data assets can be highly rewarding, because once the strategy and process are in place there’s essentially no additional cost of goods sold. Virtually every incremental dollar is profit, and the earnings can flow for years.
