Since that show, Leanne has moved on to be the Director of Data Science at the The Financial Times and I was keen to bring her back on for a chat about that move and the challenges of working in a much more established organisation.

We also touched on being back in Manchester, the buzzing Manchester data community, going back to live events, speaking at events and everyone's favourite topic - MLOps.

Always great speaking to Leanne!

Teodora is the Head of Data Science & Analytics at Saint Gobain UK and Ireland, where she leads a team of Data Scientists, Analysts and BI professionals.

We had a great chat about studying in Budapest, then the States and eventually working her away up to leading a team of analytics professionals for one of the biggest companies in France.

Teodora is also part of the women's network at Saint Gobain, trying to encourage a more diverse environment - which can be tricky working in technology (male dominated) and construction (very male dominated!) but Saint Gobain seem to be making good strides.
