As a retailer or branded manufacturer, do you sometimes feel like the cards are stacked against you? Or that the game is rigged because the industry’s largest players can use their oversize budgets to guarantee more success? Well, Billy Beane knows how you feel.
Beane, executive vice president of baseball operations for the Oakland Athletics and the inspiration for the book and movie “Moneyball,” will present the keynote session at Catalyst Americas 2016, titled “Moneyball: The Art of Winning an Unfair Game.” 
Beane will break down how companies of all sizes and verticals can implement data-based strategies to effectively, efficiently and profitably manage their assets, talent and resources.
Beane is considered one of the most innovative and successful executives in baseball, and the Moneyball methodology has revolutionized organizational thinking across a variety of industries: Wall Street, Fortune 500 companies, government and more.
