Analytics Panel Discussion with Pittsburgh Data Science

Patrick Harrison September 30, 2019 Talks

I was happy to join the Pittsburgh Data Science Group for a panel discussion about how local technology leaders are applying advanced analytics within their teams and businesses. My fellow panelists were Lucky Pamula, Head of Cognitive Automation at PNC Bank, and Christopher Stephens, VP of Data Technology at American Eagle Outfitters. We had a great turnout, and I enjoyed the conversation!

I’d like to offer special thanks to the PGH Data Science organizers for inviting me and to Microsoft for hosting us at their office in downtown Pittsburgh.
