I'm your host Danny Klein, the editorial director here at QSR. And so we are joined this week by Gladys Kong, CEO of Azira. I think I pronounced that correctly, Lisa? Yes, you did.

I am notoriously bad at such things. But thank you, first of all, Gladys, for being here. I appreciate your time and taking some part out of your day to tell us a little bit about yourself and the company. And with that said, that's generally where we begin. So Gladys, if you want to tell us, A, how you got here, and then also tell us a little bit about what Azira does.

Great. Thank you for having me, Danny. It's great to be here. My name is Gladys Kong. I am the founder and CEO of Azira. And Azira is a data intelligence company using mobile location data to help understand consumer movement and shopping behavior.

And we serve a lot of quick surf restaurants, and that's why I'm here, but also retailers as well as commercial real estate clients and travel and hospitality groups. So how I got started, I've always been interested in data.
