In this episode, I’m joined by Santona Tuli, Head of Data at Upsolver, to learn more about her leadership journey in the data industry. Santona shares more about her career journey and how she spent several years working on particle physics and analyzing massive particle collision events from the Large Hadron Collider, during her time at CERN. From there, we dive into the topic of being confident and asserting yourself in your career, and how this can be a really important skill to help you make leadership progress. We also spent a bit of time musing on the options for data leaders and Heads of Data looking to move beyond data roles in the future.
