You have probably heard about business coaching, but what about data science coaching? Data science is unique in the tech world, because it directly interacts with the business model. This means that it often starts at the executive level, and not in the tech department.

The data science coach is a role that comes to cover this gap, explaining to decision makers, how data science should be implemented within a company, in order to maximise business value.

This idea has largely been based on my work with the Tesseract Academy, through which I have run multiple workshops for executives from small to big organisations. There is also an article on The Data Scientist website, for those who are interested to learn more on the subject.
