University of Cincinnati Foundation, VP, Technology, Information & Philanthropic Strategy: Data Talent Crisis

Carrie White, VP, Technology, Information & Philanthropic Strategy at University of Cincinnati Foundation together with Ben DeBow, CEO at Fortified Data shares the challenges she observes in the data community. It involves competition from various industries who can pay better, having a balance between humanity and critical thinking skills, and being able to disseminate information regarding the appropriateness of one’s educational background to the business industry one is interested in working in. On the other hand, White also acknowledges the efforts for instance from community colleges who invest in advanced professions and in bridging the data talent gap present in the country.
