Want to run A/B tests at your company? I've spent the last 16 months building an experimentation program - the processes, infra, and teams to run large scale online experiments.

I had a great time chatting with @edweber1 (SrDir. Data at Stitch Fix) about leading data science teams to maximize business impact! Let us know what you think : ) youtube.com/watch?v=kcT6XjmB…

I had a great time talking about Lessons on Data Teams Leadership in AI with @Dpbrinkm at the @mlopscommunity Podcast. You can check out the whole conversation at go.mlops.community/U60jRe.

Thanks for having me on (again)!

Curious if there are any online “start a business” courses that aren’t actually scams/just selling dreams. I’m trying to steel man the case for these courses. Happy to hear from students who’ve taken such a course, course creators, anyone else.

Data science ~= better business decision making It’s just another tool in your arsenal. But it’s a superpower. Use it to you to optimize every biz function and build better and new products. E.g (small) better lead target leads in marketing or (big) acquire entire companies

Love @ColinKeeley s content. Highly recommend

If you want to move up in your career: 1) find the (metrics that matter AND you can influence) 2) move them in the right direction 3) let others know. Doesn’t matter what level you’re currently at.

Want to thrive in your career? Become a problem identifying and solving machine. Start with your own problems. Then expand the market. Think about your team->department->company. The bigger the problem, the higher you'll go. A business is just a market problem-solving unit.

Haven't double checked the code, but even if it does make errors, the value Code Interpreter brings in terms of speed to insight is just insane. Here it is calculating historical returns on portfolios...

I’ve been using GPT4 to brainstorm new/better ways to manage my data science dept. The results have been great so far. Here’s the exact prompt I use to start the conversation. Anyone else doing something similar?
