I always thought I’d be a mathematician, but turned to data science in 2011 shortly after finishing my PhD in algebraic topology. Since then I’ve had great fun doing data science and latterly leading data science teams. When I’m not doing data science, you can probably find me on the judo mat, in the gym trying to improve my Olympic lifting, or playing with my 2-year-old son.
I was bitten by the product bug early in my career at HSBC which led to a fantastic year at Insead doing my MBA. I then took the scenic route to my current role as interim CPO as Just Eat Takeaway.com via roles in corporate finance at Orange and digital marketing and product at American Express. I am passionate about product culture, building great customer experiences which are scalable and data powered and yes, I'm a Marty Cagan fan girl.
I am a mum of 2 and also a coffee snob, enthusiastic foodie who doesn’t “get” wine, mid century design enthusiast and Instagram addict. This is my first time here and I’m thrilled to be presenting at the Women of Silicon Roundabout and meeting many of you.
