Women on the rise in Data Science

IBM Data Science and AI Elite team members Mehrnoosh Vahdat and Rachael Dottle were just one month into their IBM careers when they received their first assignment last July. 

The project jettisoned them into the heart of Africa, where their banking client was looking to surface new business opportunities across the subcontinent. Their mission was to generate a proof of concept designed to enhance the value of data science and inject the results into workflows for business users and clients.
