EP 04 - Tanja Magas - Chief Data and Analytics Officer at Democrance - Bring Back the Truth in the Data Science and AI World

The Data Driven Podcast had a killer conversation with Tanja Magas, the Chief Data and Analytics Officer at Democrance.  Democrance enables insurers to access new market segments, particularly in emerging and mobile-first markets. With its technology, insurers can create and enhance digital sales mechanisms, while increasing operational efficiency and profitability. Some of the topics that Tanja and I discussed: Born in Bosnia, Sarajevo and immigrated to Austria and Germany as part of a refugee program Living, going to school, and working in New York City Working at Lehman Brothers just before the collapse The importance Data Availability and Quality The joy of building things from scratch Innovative, Differentiated Non-traditional Data Sets Regulation and Data Privacy Democrance's approach to and philosophy on data science Five layers of complexity The importance of building a single source of data that is accurate and real-time A simple, but very powerful, dashboard structure Going to fun as opposed to going to work
