Tell us about any ambitions you have in terms of becoming a data leader
I feel very fortunate to work for a company that is not only hungry for analysis, but which appreciates a balanced approach to data and ’gut’. Improving the language, communication, fluency, and relevancy of data in day-to-day business has always been a priority company-wide. Our team also hopes to celebrate and better understand different cultures to help our artists succeed, and that goal – the goal of bringing the world closer together to serve fans and artists alike – is what drives us to make data more intelligible and relevant to the wider business community.
What key skills or attributes do you consider will be essential to your success in this role?
I believe the most essential skill to help evangelise data is the ability to listen. No matter your technical ability, the talent of being able to understand a multitude of roles and, importantly, how data can help positively impact them, is essential to building a group of widespread data advocates in your team and beyond.
