Spring Community Newsletter – Creating Data Harmony

Hello from the CEOPhilip Brittan, Crux CEO

The Crux team has ramped up our rhythm, and our efforts are reverberating in the marketplace. As you may have heard, Citi invested $5 million in Crux earlier this year. This support from Citi affirms the resonance of our services for leading companies. Helping people work in harmony with data creates meaningful movement forward.

My musical metaphors here are intentional. An unknown fact about me: In addition to several decades working in finance and tech, I’ve learned a lot about business from many years of composing music.

A composer has to keep their vision clear in their head as they work, and make sure that each element they develop truly supports it. While building a rhythm that flows and uncovering the notes that resonate, a composer relates these technical processes back to the larger purpose of the work.

I founded Crux with a meaningful mission: to create harmony between people and data. Now my role is to make sure that every element of our business works in harmony to achieve that goal. Every day, I conduct our talent, skills, and resources to flow together towards our purpose. When I face a challenge, I remind myself how it fits into the big picture and consider how my decision today can affect our company’s core goal.

Crux can orchestrate your data supply chain to deliver more value to you. We help data flow in a way that enriches everyone. That’s music to our ears, and we hope to yours too.
