The ABCs of... Producing Next-Gen Data Scientists for Today’s Businesses

Recently, I had my (long-awaited) chat with Jameson Watts, Executive Director and Chair, Computing and Data Science Programs and Associate Professor of Marketing and Data Science at Willamette University. With over 20 years of programming experience, Jameson employs his deep knowledge of business and technology in the service of research and the application of common data science tools to real-world business problems.

During this Q&A session, Jameson and I discuss his vision for his students, various data science applications in business, and share our concept of "the missing middle" -- i.e. those individuals who truly operate at the intersection of technology and business.

You can find Jameson on his website or via LinkedIn. To learn more about Jameson and the work he leads at Willamette University, read his bio or watch his webinar here.
