Richie Cotton, Senior Data Evangelist, DataCamp

Richie Cotton is definitely one of the more different guests we've had on the pod, and I'm not talking only about his penchant for loud tropical shirts. He's a math guy, or a maths guy, as they'd say in his native England.He's been a data scientist, a government researcher, and even a math teacher, which follows family tradition. And for the past 10 years, he's worked with DataCamp, an online education site that focuses on data science and AI, and where Richie serves both as senior data evangelist and as a podcaster.In a sense, he's still teaching. But he's also an influencer, although he prefers "connector," with tens of thousands of followers. Richie joined us to talk about DataCamp's mission, how a boy from a small northern English town is managing in New York City, and those fabulous shirts of his, for this episode of Pressing Matters from Big Valley Marketing, the podcast that brings you conversations with the top media and influencers in B2B tech.I'm Dave Reddy, head of Big Valley Marketing's Media and Influencers practice, and I'm your host. Through research and good old-fashioned relationship building, we've identified B2B tech's top 200 media and influencers, including Richie. Here's our chat. Enjoy.
