So proud of this milestone: I am formally designated as Senior Data Scientist (SDS™) with the Data Science Council of America! This amazing discipline requires a lot of hard work and continuing dedication to learning. In the age of Big Data, many organizations are struggling to derive value from the enormous amount of data available to them. There is often a void between business and IT stakeholders in the understanding of how they can optimize their business processes and empower their managers with valuable insights. To bridge this gap, you need a new generation of Leaders that are somewhat unicorns in this space who understand business challenges and are equipped with technical knowledge and skills.
