Nicolas,ViktoriaandKaitalk about Digital Finance and Controlling in an international environment and how LinkedIn can be a valuable support and source of information.
„My current professional role: I am currently heading the Finance and Controlling team of one of the Business Line of Thales Germany. MIS is specialised in producing Traveling Waves Tubes for Satellites. My story: I am half French, half Belgian and being raised with 2 different cultures brought me where I am today. I lived in 5 different countries across 3 different continents (France, USA, Luxembourg, Singapore and Germany) and at home or at work, I am constantly switching between speaking English, German and French. My private life: I am married and a happy father of two young daughters. We both learn from each other and we enjoy reading french books together and going outside together. When I am not busy with my daughters, I am working out to stay healthy and feel good (I recently bought a Peloton, hit me up if you are also a Peloton member). Traveling and tasting new food are some of my favorite experiences. But if you ask me where is the most beautiful place and where can we find the best food in the world, I have only one response: my hometown, Brittany in France (check my Linkedin banner to see the beauty of it).“ –Nicolas Boucher, Thales

Jack, Viktoria and Kai are discussing the link between data and business impact and the perfect data science team to make that happen.
„With international experience along the data analytics value chain (21 years in tech & 3 in pharma), I must say that the link between data and business impact is missing at many companies. Especially with the current hype around AI and data science, there is a big gap between talk and action. Here is where I come in. Having built analytics teams, designed data roadmaps, defined data governance, and synthesized data, I enable companies to turn data into business impact. I support executives with data-driven decisions. I cultivate data mindset through data literacy programs. And I accelerate AI adoption through customer & product clustering, marketing investment optimization, sales forecasting, and ROI simulation … all that while having fun. Having fun, I also have as a speaker at analytics conferences.“ – Jack Lampka, Head of Data Science, MSD Germany

🤯 Why we don’t like buzzwords
