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 of 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
