Key Quotes:  

“A lot of people think that you need to own the data. We live in a world with clean rooms, with disparate data sets, and there is no need to own data en masse for every data component that you need.” - Peter

“That's the power of big data. I can create audiences that are meaningful to me, and I can treat each of those audiences fundamentally differently, and I can measure the performance of each.” - Peter
