Companies have largely figured out software. Data science, however, seems to be the new frontier. Many data scientists are coming from largely academic backgrounds and maybe don’t understand how to function at jobs in the private sector. Today’s guest is Ian Wong, co-founder and CTO of Opendoor. He chatted with Peter about the questions data scientists can ask themselves to better align their work with tangible business outcomes.
Ian also discussed how the pandemic has led his team to talk about making remote-first work as a permanent practice. Tune in for his insights.
