Tech Talk with Eastern Analytics | Pilot: Origins

In this pilot episode of Tech Talk, we sit down with Scott Petroski, founder of Eastern Analytics, to hear the full origin story of how a self-taught programmer built a data analytics consulting firm that's been running strong since 1999. Scott shares his journey from working in his family's real estate appraisal business to teaching himself coding through bulletin board systems and modems, landing a role at Digital Equipment Corporation (DEC) during the early days of enterprise data warehousing, consulting in Saudi Arabia as one of only 12 people in the world who knew SAP's new data warehouse product, and ultimately founding Eastern Analytics. We also dive into what Eastern Analytics does today — building end-to-end analytics solutions for companies ranging from Fortune 500 brands like Estée Lauder and Hasbro to small nonprofits still running on Excel. Scott breaks down how his team handles everything from data architecture and engineering to AI enrichment, Power BI dashboards, managed services, and offshore team management. Whether you're in marketing leadership, sales, IT, or just curious about how analytics consulting actually works, this episode gives you a real look behind the curtain.
