Genevieve Hayes Consulting

The two most challenging transitions you can make in your career are transitioning from individual contributor to team lead, and moving from team lead to managing managers. This is true across all professions, but is particularly pronounced in technical fields, like data science. 

In this episode, host Dr Genevieve Hayes is joined by guest Tim Davey to discuss the challenges faced by data scientists looking to climb the corporate ladder, and how employers of data professionals can support them in developing their careers.

Tim Davey has spent the majority of his career working in the organisational development and HR space where his work has focussed strongly on the development of leaders and working with individuals to understand and maximise their careers. This has included, among other things, providing executive coaching to senior management across a wide range of industries, including media, the performing arts, manufacturing, financial services, transport, education, insurance, legal, and not-for-profit sectors. 

Yet, Tim also has a strong technical background himself, having completed a Science degree at the University of Melbourne, and starting his working career in the chemical manufacturing sector, so has first-hand understanding of the challenges faced by the members and leaders of technical teams.
