from Stacked Data Podcast · host Harry Gollop
Most data orgs scale their AE team as they grow. Wise didn't. Moritz Kerstan runs a lean team of 17 supporting over 300 data practitioners — and he's got a clear thesis on why that's the right call. In this episode, we dig into how Wise structures their analytics engineering function, how the team operates without hierarchical authority, what good prioritisation actually looks like, and the honest truth about building with LLMs inside a large regulated fintech.
