Welcome back to an all new season of My Career in Data – a DATAVERSITY Talks podcast where we sit down with professionals to discuss how they have built their careers around data.This episode we speak with Duru Ahanotu, PhD, Sole Proprietor , Ahan Analytics. At six years old, he dreamed of becoming a scientist solving big problems, never imagining he'd spend his career doing data management, sometimes without even realizing it until later. After earning his PhD at Stanford working with expert systems and automotive diagnostics, he was pulled into boutique management consulting where he built a legendary 100-tab spreadsheet modeling IBM's manufacturing supply chain, though he just thought of himself as a "modeler" rather than a data professional.
