Jeffrey Rufus

We hired a data scientist to build our pipeline. $200K later, we learned our mistake. It was an expensive one...

Truth:
Hiring a 'data person' is like hiring 'a business person.' It means nothing and most people still think "data is data."
But ask any startup or business that's actually scaling with it for the first time and you'll watch the same scene unfold:

Everyone's pointing at each other because nobody has clarity about who does what!

Here's the guide you need:
- Data Engineers build the pipes that move your data from A to B. Without them, nothing flows.

- Data Architects design the entire city — how systems connect, where data lives, how it scales. They're thinking three moves ahead.

- BI Developers build the dashboards and reports. They make data visible to the business.

- Data Analysts interpret what the numbers actually mean. They turn metrics into decisions.

- ML Engineers build models that predict what happens next. They're automating the future.

Same company. Same dataset. Five completely different jobs.

now add AI to the mix and here's what role extension looks like...

- AI Engineers - They implement and deploy AI/LLM applications. Think: integrating GPT-4 into your product, building RAG systems, prompt engineering at scale. They're more focused on using AI models than building them from scratch.

- LLM Engineers (or Prompt Engineers at senior levels) - They optimize how your product interacts with foundation models. Fine-tuning, prompt chains, evaluation frameworks.

- AI Product Engineers - Hybrid role bridging product and AI. They figure out where AI should live in your product and how users interact with it.

Confuse their roles and you'll get what I call "elegant chaos" ! Just  beautiful dashboards sitting on top of broken pipelines and products.

The companies that win aren't just hiring "data people."

They're building teams where each role knows exactly what problem they're solving.

Because in a modern data stack, role clarity isn't a nice-to-have.
It's mandatory infrastructure!

Head of Growth | Problem solver who unlocks company-wide growth | I diagnose what’s blocking growth, build out implementable strategies to solve it and drive trajectory- changing impact | Open to fractional roles.

AI is everywhere. I watched two companies tackle AI this year...the approach and outcomes were very different.

Company A: Bought enterprise licenses for 6 different AI tools. Sent everyone a training deck. Told the team to "figure it out."
Six months later: 12% adoption. Frustrated staff. Executive team questioning the ROI.

Company B: Started with their marketing team's biggest headache... a weekly report + commentary on actionable insights.

They gave 3 people Claude. 30 days. One specific use case.

Those three saved 8 hours each per week. They shared their prompts. 
Their results. Their mistakes.

Within 90 days, the whole company wanted in.

The difference?
Company A tried to boil the ocean. Company B heated one cup of water to show it could be done.

Here's the 2026 playbook that actually works:

→ Pick ONE painful task that eats your team's time 
→ Choose ONE tool that solves it
→ Start with ONE small team
→ Give them 30 days
→ Measure hours saved (not sentiment) 
→ Let success create demand

The uncomfortable truth:
Most organizations will spend 2026 doing what Company A did—buying tools, hoping for magic, getting disappointed.

The winners will do what Company B did—start small, prove value, scale with intention.

AI readiness isn't about having the fanciest tech stack.

It's about having a team that knows how to use one tool really well.
Then two. Then three.
