On today’s show, I am pleased to welcome Irene Bratsis.

Irene is the Director of Digital product and Data for the international WELL building institute, the Author of the AI product managers handbook as well as the NYC Co-Lead for Women in Data. She also moderates the Women in AI (WAI) Talks.

This was a very upbeat and energetic discussion, and we spoke about a LOT, including -

• Who are the IWBI and why does Data play such an integral part in their future?
• What is behind the rapid rise in the demand for dedicated product teams within Data & AI
• What made Irene want to write the "AI product managers handbook"?
• What led Irene to become involved in the Women in Data & AI
• Why is it so important to have a diverse Data team, and what steps can Women take in order to pursue a career in Data
• What does Irene think the future holds for AI?
