OUR DS4A / WOMEN FELLOW COMMUNITY

" I applied to the DS4A/Women fellowship to learn how to transfer my academic research experience to the health data science industry. I learned that and much, much, more. Not only have I found an amazing community of women in my cohort, but also in my group members. These experiences have prepared me personally and professionally to think and act like a data scientist, particularly one who is invested in leveraging her skills to improve health and wellbeing"

EMPOWERING THE DATA-DRIVEN LEADERS OF TOMORROW

OUR MISSION

Data literacy is increasingly becoming a requirement for all business leaders. Every industry is becoming more data-driven, and as they do, effective leaders must become data literate.

Today, data literacy has a major inclusion problem. Women are 46% of the workforce, but hold only 26% of data and analytics jobs. Worse, representation steadily declines for more senior roles, and among technology firms, women represent just 17% of the C-Suite.

This imbalance, if left uncorrected, will have severe detriments into the future. It will deny key leadership roles to women and further deepen the unequal representation we see in many fields.
