In this episode of Keeping Up With Data, Emil Pastore from Neo4j joins the team to unpack how graph databases are transforming industries, from fraud detection in banking to drug discovery in pharma. Emil shares his journey from Teradata to Microsoft to Neo4j, and explains why graph technology is more than just a buzzword—it’s a mindset shift.
What Neo4j actually is (and isn’t)
Why graphs mimic the human brain better than spreadsheets
How Neo4j helps fintechs like Prospa detect fraud in hours, not days
The difference between GraphRAG and traditional AI search
Why most companies don’t need more tools - they need better questions
Whether you're deep in data architecture or just curious about graph tech, this episode breaks it down with clarity, real-world use cases, and a few spicy misconceptions.
