Welcome to the ThinkData podcast in partnership with Dataworks. On today's show, I am excited to welcome Jess Kyle to the show!

Jess has over 12 years of experience working within the Data & Analytics space and is the Data Architecture Manager at Underdog Fantasy, one of the world's fastest-growing sports gaming companies.

We had a cracking discussion and touched on a few of the following points:  

• What makes a great data leader
• Why do so many companies struggle to develop future leaders within data & analytics?
• What are some of the limitations of bringing in external talent
• What steps should companies take to put themselves in the best possible position to retain and develop managers?
• How Jess sees the role of a Data team manager changing over the coming years
• Jess's advice to aspiring managers within Data.
