Welcome back to an all new season of My Career in Data – a DATAVERSITY Talks podcast where we sit down with professionals to discuss how they have built their careers around data.
This episode we speak with Malcolm Hawker, Chief Data Officer, Profisee. At six years old, he dreamed of getting paid to build Lego for the rest of his life. While that didn’t pan out, his winding career path through data and product management has been just as creative. After earning a business degree, he pursued a master’s in communications while dreaming of becoming the next Richard Branson. Instead, he sent 400 resumes and landed as a call center rep at AOL in 1995. Listen how that AOL role launched a 30-year career spanning product management, data and analytics, and leadership roles at companies like Dun & Bradstreet and Gartner, eventually leading him to make the unconventional decision to step away from people management and a multi-million dollar budget to become an individual contributor and thought leader, advising CDOs, CIOs, and CEOs.
