It was an absolute pleasure to speak to Joti and I really loved her human-first approach, of getting to know people and understanding their motivations.  She's a singer and is currently being coached by a child prodigy. She also loves the song "Jalebi Baby" - for those who don't know a "jalebi" is the name for an Indian sweet dish made of sugar and flour, then fried into circular form and it...

Our preamble before the interview was really insightful for me. We talked about our families, our cultures, and our values and it seemed that Ivan and I have had similar experiences in life. He’s super focused and lives with a form of discipline around him that is fantastic, a triathlon athlete and now training for the big Iron Man which he hopes to complete soon! Here is a little more about Ivan....

Here is a little more about Dan. He’s curren...

Every leader has a different view of the world and how exciting it is for me to understand what makes different data leaders tick!  It was great to speak to Alexander and he was an open soul, not inhibited at all about his true self and what drives him to do the things he does.  Here is a little bit about Alexander: Alexander is a data science leader who builds and develops world class t...

I really loved this conversation and speaking to data leaders I always pick up some good nuggets about what drives them to be who they are.

She wears her heart on her sleeve and what you see is what you get! My kind of person...

Andy and I met back in 2014 on a large transformation programme we were both working on.  We are also Accenture Alumni and one thing that I love about him is that while he's passionate about data, he's super passionate about the business.  I would say we hit it off as we were both thinking about how we could speak in the purist of business languages, while delivering excellence in what w...

Drew and I met in August 2020 through the popular platform that is LinkedIn.  What struck me is the depth of thought almost philosophical that Drew engages in around the topics of business in particular - people, process, data and technology.   A business minded individual with a flair for driving business goals and outcomes through data, he and I have had many discussions about the indu...

Jason and I met in 2018 and it seems that we have known each other for years! I remember one of our earliest conversations that we had and his use of the word "domination" was brilliant! He would use it as a way to say "go do what you have to do and do it with excellence" so I loved that word put into that context.  We both have our own companies and have the scars to prove what the life of a...
