Georgina has been working in Data Science since 2011. For many years she was a coding data scientist in R, Python and PySpark, but for the last 7 years she's been leading international data teams.
She is the Head of Data for an NYSE-listed company with tens of millions of MAU, where she manages the Data Science, Advanced Analytics and Data Engineering teams as well as regulatory reporting.
She's been through hiring cycles and layoff cycles, major tech stack overhauls, massive data science projects and forensic audits. She's figured out how to keep diverse, remote data teams happy, productive and collaborative, at least 80% of the time.

Happy, productive, remote: international technical teams and how to manage them
Managing technical teams spread across different countries is a challenge worth conquering. This is an operating system for bringing people together around shared, complicated tasks, when all you have is Slack, git and video meetings. The work itself is already hard, good team people are hard to find - but how you manage the team determines how much everyone can bring to the table.
I've learned some stuff the hard way, and developed my own techniques to handle teams - I'm sharing my operating system.
