We have a 100% success rate at placing our PhDs ("Fellows") as data scientists at top tier technology companies in the Bay Area (e.g. LinkedIn, Facebook, Twitter, Google, Microsoft, Square). As a founding partner, I, among many responsibilities: • Led start-up operations by creating strategies, processes and systems for Fellow recruitment, scheduling, office and financial management, hiring and training new employees, PR/marketing, business development and community building.
