Do you know that average people can hold 10% of what they learn after 72 hours, while if the same information is applied to the data it can retain up to 65%?
I’ve always been drawn to the room where business and mathematics converge. My educational experience in mathematics and industry, which allows me to interact with both sides efficiently–as they don’t always speak the same language–and help them understand one another better. I want to be able to use data analysis to make informed business decisions. Over time, I have found that one key to success is the ability to interact with data visually. I first realized the value of my first job outside of college as a skilled person in this field. I served as a credit risk management consultant (before the subprime crisis and, thus, before anyone understood what credit risk management was). My task was to create and test statistical models for the prediction of crime and loss. It meant making complicated things and ultimately making it into a simple statement, whether we had enough money for expected losses in savings, in what situations we would be exposed to, and so on. I quickly learned that my colleagues didn’t usually spend time on the aesthetic piece— to get more support from my boss and my boss’s boss. To me, this was the beginning of the visual exchange of data in spending time. After advancing through several roles in loan risk, fraud, and management, followed by some time in the world of private equity, I decided that I wanted to continue my career outside banking and finance.
I stopped to consider the skills that I had that I wanted to use every day: in essence, it used data to influence business decisions. I landed on the People Analytics team at Google. Google is so data-driven that it even uses data and analytics in a field not often seen: human resources. People Analytics is an analysis team incorporated into Google’s HR organization (“People Operations” in Google). This team’s mission is to help ensure that decision-making by Google employees or potential employees is focused on evidence. This was a perfect way to develop my leadership skills further and use data and analytics to better understand and educate decision-making in ways like to targeted jobs, staff engaged and inspiring, team building, and talent retention. Google People Analytics are cutting-edge and helps to build a direction that other businesses have started to pursue. It was a fantastic experience to be involved in creating and developing this squad.
