In this interview, Shubhangi Dua, Podcast Host, Producer, and B2B Tech Journalist at EM360Tech, speaks with Ole Olesen-Bagneux, Vice President & Chief Evangelist at Actian, at Big Data LDN 2026 in Kensington Olympia.
At BDL, on September 23, 2026, Bagneux also partnered with Gaurav Patole, Principal Data Strategist at Thoughtworks Netherlands, to deliver a joint session titled "Where is the Context?"
When Dua asks about the context beyond buzzwords, the Actian VP alludes to the panel discussion and says it’s interesting how we make it real by providing technologies and setups to capture context, and technologies that use pieces of context to instruct AI agents.
He also tells Dua that he sees huge potential in unstructured data. “Unstructured data has not been harnessed enough.”
“The vast majority of data in enterprises is unstructured. We can use it for AI use cases. It has the biggest potential,” Bagneux adds. “We have the poorest-defined engineering disciplines around unstructured data.”
