I had a chance to interview one and only Jeff Lunsford, CEO of Tealium, at the Data + AI Summit, and we had a real conversation about what it actually takes to deliver AI-powered customer experiences. One key takeaway: AI is only as good as the data feeding it — and that data needs to be real-time, consented, and privacy-compliant. That’s where Tealium comes in.

We spoke about the launch of CloudStream and how it’s helping enterprises push clean, event-driven customer data into platforms like Databricks without delays or duplication.

Jeff also shared how Tealium’s working with Databricks to close the gap between marketing data and AI — making it easier for teams to build smarter, faster, and more responsible experiences.

Always great to dig into how different layers of the stack come together.
