Brett Mangel

Brett is a Data Engineer & Analyst. Having worked for four years at Tesla in Fremont in California and Amsterdam in the Netherlands, and having spent a year building a data infrastructure for an Agricultural Fintech start up in Kenya, he is now building data systems with Whetstone.ai, a consulting company focused on high stakes industries like finance, healthcare, and life sciences.

He’s leveraged his skills to support operations in Service, Manufacturing, Quality, Sales, Supply Chain, HR, Finance, and been able to see a lot of sides of the automotive business, specifically around EVs.

Brett's keen to share what he's learned about being a Data Engineer and Analyst so that others might benefit. The blogposts that he's written on the topic have been very well received and there's a link to these below.

I enjoyed my conversation with Brett and was struck by the clarity of his assessment of situations and courage that he had to act based on those assessments from an early age. His approach to his role in Tesla and the way it enabled him to increase his circle of influence is a valuable case study that has relevance even outside his specific field of expertise.

I'm delighted to be able to introduce you to Brett and I look forward to hearing your thoughts on his fascinating journey so far.
