Season 7, Episode 4 - Keyur Desai, Former Chief Data Officer, TD Ameritrade

A discussion with Keyur Desai, former Chief Data Officer, TD Ameritrade. He has held other roles at Teradata, MicroStrategy, Attensity, Informatica, and Herbalife Nutrition. He talks about the challenges in building the first enterprise reporting tool from a small start up to a global, publicly traded company – all without venture capital funding. He also outlines how he looks for the ability to communicate and motivate when he hires. You don’t want to miss his description of how, after growing up in central Africa, he sees things happening there now that remind him of the early days of Silicon Valley. That’s what motivates him to put time and money into charities that help fund innovation in that part of the world. #analytics #datascience #leadership #machinelearning #ai #artificialintelligence #TDAmeritrade #Teradata #Microstrategy #Attensity #informatica
