Tell us about the data and analytics resources you are responsible for

I lead the global data science team at Haleon. This is a centralised team of 40 permanent data scientists and machine learning engineers, based across the UK, US, India and China. The team conducts research and delivers value focused ML solutions across R&D, marketing, digital and supply chain. The team is also responsible for AI/ML standards across the enterprise. I am passionate about building a diverse and inclusive team and have led the introduction of data and analytics apprenticeships at Haleon. 

Tell us about any ambitions you have in terms of becoming a data leader 

Data and data science are at the heart of innovation for competitive organisations. As a leader, I am focused on increasing data and AI literacy enabled through a culture of responsible and innovative AI. Increasing diversity and inclusion in the field of data science, which is currently a very under representative industry, is a critical part of building more inclusive AI systems. With more great minds in the field, it is my firm belief that we can find novel and transformative solutions to complex problems and deliver value.
