In this episode, I’m joined by Christina Stathopoulos, a former Googler who now works independently as a data & AI evangelist, trainer, and advisor.

Not only did we talk about her path from data engineering into data science, and eventually into teaching and strategic consulting. We also covered:

• Why many companies still struggle with data & AI basics
• The hype vs. reality of generative AI (and how to cut through the noise)
• Why soft skills like communication, critical thinking, and storytelling are underrated in tech
• How regulation in Europe might be slowing things down, and why AI won’t wait for borders
• The difference between online and in-person learning (and why human connection still matters)

and much more!

All in all: A thoughtful, honest conversation full of insights on AI, data culture, and the human side of technology.
