Do you have to come from a purely technical background to make it as a data leader? Abel Aboh, Data Management Lead, Bank of England is proof that you don’t.  We speak to Abel in this episode about his transition from working in HR to moving into the data management space. We look at the most important skills he’s picked up along the way, how to establish understanding of the value of data in an organization and the specific challenges he faces working in the financial industry.
