Jonny Reichwald

In this talk, EQT walks through their journey to dbt Fusion, focusing on how they re-architected their data workflows for speed, scalability, and maintainability.

Let’s kick off Coalesce 2025 with a bang! At our opening keynote, you’ll hear how dbt is redefining data work in the age of AI. You’ll hear from dbt Labs CEO and Founder Tristan Handy for his perspective on how AI is rapidly pushing our industry forward and how the dbt Fusion engine is redefining the dbt standard.

Jonny will showcase how the team at EQT, one of the world's largest private equity firms, is leveraging the dbt Discovery API, data contracts, tagging, and other dbt features to power discovery through their intranet — and by extension, how this also enables the team to support LLMs for live querying of their data.
