Anders Lindqvist
Head of Data Science, Northwind Analytics
Anders came to data science from actuarial work, which shows: he is more interested in whether a model is defensible than whether it is fashionable. He leads a team of thirty and has spent the last four years writing about the gap between a notebook that works and a system that survives contact with production. His teaching style is deliberately slow at the start — he insists the statistics are the hard part and the tooling is not.
