Alex Cosmas CHIEF DATA SCIENTIST @alexcosmas Brian Keller, PhD CHIEF TECHNOLOGIST @brndnlkllr Jamie Lopez, PhD SENIOR ASSOCIATE @jamielopezphd Data scientists should be truth-seekers, not fact-seekers. I’ll take passion over talent any day. Fundamentally, people drive the analysis and make the interpretations, so it follows the more talented your people then the better your analysis and interpretations. Patrick McCreesh Kristen More, PhD Ari Hamalian SENIOR ASSOCIATE @patrickmccreesh SENIOR ASSOCIATE @kristenmorephd LEAD ASSOCIATE @arihamalian Respect the data, bring on the science. All the data and tools in the world are meaningless unless you have the right data science talent to make sense of it. The cost of analysis will always be cheaper than the price of ignorance. Katie Hanley JD Hannick Susan Michener LEAD ASSOCIATE @katiekara LEAD ASSOCIATE @JDHannick LEAD ASSOCIATE @michenersusan 42 To make data science sing, hit the impact notes every day. Data doesn’t solve problems, people armed with data solve problems. Change agents are force multipliers – cultivating them to help drive your data science vision forward is time well spent.
