How AI Built This

Massimo is a Data Science Manager at Bumble, where he and his team are responsible for getting machine learning into production and adding value to the business.

With previous experience at a start-up, where Massimo identified the need for what we'd now call MLOps, he was in a unique position when he joined Bumble to implement some of this into an environment at a much larger scale.

As an individual contributor, lead engineer and now manager, Massimo has some great thoughts on building successful teams and setting them up for success.

A great chat - which finished on a story of flying to Berlin specifically for a burger.

I hope you enjoy!

Leanne Fitzpatrick is back!

If you haven't had a chance to listen to Leanne's data story before - go check out episode 15.

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!

I hope you enjoy.

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.
