I wanted to learn more about how Eva’s involvement in the Visualize Gender Equality” project is designed to harness the power of data visualization to raise awareness of extreme gender inequality. Eva shares her experiences working in a male-dominated industry and overcoming the struggles brought about by gender bias in the world of data.

We also discuss the growing prominence of the Chief Data Officer (CDO), the buzz around ‘data literacy,’ and how organizations need to introduce not just a digital transformation but a data transformation too. Finally, we discuss how intelligent use and the understanding of data are integral to the success of charities and other non-profits.
