Episode 22 of Localogy’s This Week in Local podcast features a deep dive into the power of geospatial data with Ankit Patel, SVP of Engineering at Foursquare. Once best known for inventing the social “check-in”, Foursquare now empowers brands to make mission-critical, data-driven decisions.
We tackle a number of big questions with Ankit in the episode. For example, what is Foursquare today? What is geospatial data and how can brands leverage it to make better decisions? How will Foursquare employ generative AI? How will IoT devices shape our future? And much more.
Ankit joined Foursquare in June 2021 after a long career at Amazon and Amazon Web Services. His last role before joining Foursquare was as general manager of the AWS IoT Platform. Because of this background, we ended the episode with Ankit’s take on where IoT is heading in the near future.
