At P&G, he led the company's global business intelligence and analytics transformation. He emphasized the importance of Latend's solution in preventing costly surprises and ensuring that data products meet business expectations.

Jan Wenda, co-founder and CEO of Latend, highlighted Walter's extensive experience in making large companies run on data. Walter's leadership at P&G and his subsequent work with other companies make him a valuable addition to Latend's team. Walter also serves on the board of True Essence Foods and is a Trustee and Co-Chair of the Board of the Ovarian Cancer Alliance of Greater Cincinnati.
