Data Science Leadership Paradox: Navigating Expectations VS Reality

Effective Management of Real-World Challenges in Data Science Teams

The following is my presentation in the recent “AI/ML Malaysia April Meetup” in Monash Malaysia.

A Manager’s Perspective

Hi everyone. Just a quick background about myself before I start my presentation.

My name is Hafidz.

I’ve been working since 2008, mostly plying my trade in the telecom industry as a Systems Analyst. I later went into Data Science and became an Data Analyst in 2015 at Axiata, got to be a Data Scientist while I was at Seek, and later joined Bank Islam as the first Data hire at our branchless digital bank offering — Be U by Bank Islam.

Fast forward a few years, I now head our Growth team to focus on our acquisition activities.

If you guys haven’t downloaded the app “Be U by Bank Islam” yet — I’d suggest checking it out on Google Playstore or Apple App Store right about now. Search for ‘Be U by Bank Islam’ there or head on to our website at getbeu.com to learn more 😊😊
