Michelle Dunn fell in love with statistics on her way to freshman year at Harvard, after studying for a quantitative reasoning test. Now, she is CTO and co-founder of Data Collaboratory, a technology company that builds data science tools—and a company she built from the ground up. Michelle’s goal is to continue to put into action what she has learned about leadership from her hero, statistician and hiring manager Brenda Edwards.
