“For me first and foremost this is all about people. One day we’ll have the robot overlords take it from us,” proclaims Spotify’s Dan Robins ominously.
“But right now it’s still very much about the people pushing and pulling the levers and making the most of the technology available to us.”

Dan Robins is Spotify’s ANZ head of programmatic and data
