Students learn about the methodologies, algorithms, technologies and infrastructure needs for modern machine learning. But also dive into the change management and leadership aspects of becoming a data driven organisation.

I had the honor and pleasure of interviewing Martine a while ago and understand better how she looks at data science and the evolving trends in business. Sorry for the delay in uploading. I hope you enjoy it.

Welcome to Data Minds, a podcast where you get to know the people working in Data, day in, day out.This podcast is still very much in an experimental phase, so feel free to send us your feedback to podcast@dataminded.be.

For our first episode, I invited Wannes Rosiers, he’s the head of Data Science at Essent.be. I chose Wannes as our first guest because I know we can talk for hours without really planning a topic. You might notice it at the end, when we are going through the answers more quickly, as time was running out. Also, for those of you watching on YouTube, you’ll see that the video freezes for a while. Not much I can do about that. I’ll see if that is a recurring issue or if it was a one-time glitch.
