Beyond Individual Contribution: How to Lead Data Science Teams
45 Mins
Talk
Advanced
Despite the increasing number of data scientists who are being asked to take on managerial and leadership roles as they grow in their careers, there are still few resources on how to manage data scientists and lead data science teams. There is also scant practical advice on how to serve as head of a data science practice: how to set a vision and craft a strategy for an organization to use data science.
In this talk, I will describe my experience as a data science leader both at a political party (the Democratic Party of the United States of America) and at a fintech startup (Even.com), share lessons learned from these experiences and conversations with other data science leaders, and offer a framework for how new data science leaders can better transition to both managing data scientists and heading a data science practice.
