[Keynote] Tipping Points: How Individual Decisions Make Big Impacts in Data Careers & Data Teams w/ Emily Hawkins, data engineering manager @ Drizly
All of our careers (and the collective careers of our data teams) are the sum of critical decisions made at the right or wrong time. Our keynote speaker, Emily Hawkins, data engineering manager at Drizly, is no stranger to navigating these inflection points. Personally, she’s navigated between junior to senior IC and from senior IC to manager. Within in her team at Drizly, Emily has experienced many data growing pains and success stories that come from a company scaling their data team from 3 to 30. In this keynote (which is a live episode of The Sequel Show w/ Boris Jabes), Emily and Boris sit down to discuss:
- How Emily has navigated tipping points in her career (and how they’ve helped her scale up)
- How she’s navigating the growing pains of a successful data team
- How her role within in her team has changed since Drizly acquisition by Uber
- How data process and data sharing has shifted as the team has grown
- Lessons learned in making decisions that will impact your career, your company, and your customers
Join us for this session to glean some second-hand gold to help you navigate your own tipping points (and learn some fun trivia about Drizly along the way).
