The Profile: Jackson Heddy, Northzone
The Drawdown (TDD): Across the alternatives space, there is a growing focus on data and how to leverage it as an asset. What’s your current approach to data?
Jackson Heddy (JH): We split out operations and portfolio company data. On the portfolio side, we have migrated to a central database, from our fund administrator to our internal systems.
The main problem is trying to use historical data that’s not as rich as our current data standards and collection.
