Joy Robson, MBA shares a strong sense of optimism about the "power of data to serve humanity". And, along with thousands of like-minded spirits within the global #dataforgood movement, she aspires to be a "data scientist with a conscience". In  2012, Joy sensed a shift in the force — the movement was about to take off — and the wind beneath its wings, Open Data, was reaching a crescendo of influence. The timing was right for Joy to build something unique within Canada and with the help of countless keen and talented volunteers, the National Not-for-Profit known as Data for Good (Canada) launched and is now approaching its 10-year anniversary. Blending her technical skills with her social sector awareness allows Joy to apply Data/AI/ML — and the powerful insights they provide — against the many challenges that face the social sector.
