Today's guest is Boris Paillard, founder and CEO of Le Wagon. We discuss why we're currently seeing such a high demand for data science skills.

As the demand for these skills continues to increase, it's essential to understand what's driving this demand. Boris shares his expert perspective on these factors and can also cover the broader trends shaping the data science sector, including:

  • Widespread digital transformation of companies – At a significant pace, across all industries
  • Decision making rooted in data, not individual judgment – The scale of large companies prohibits effective, individualized judgments
  • The historic data skills gap – Why it existed, and what's changing
