This week we had a great chat with Karina Korpela from Invesco, all about data leadership - how much you should stay hands-on, where business skills come in, and whether technical expertise is undervalued at the leadership level. We also talked about avoiding micromanagement, and making sure data teams actually deliver value rather than just getting lost in the tech. If you’ve got thoughts on this or your own experiences to share, drop us a message - we’d love to hear from you.
