After enjoying research for the last four years, especially during my time at CERN, I have made a significant decision. I have decided to resign from my postgraduate position and make a transition from academia to the exciting world of Capgemini. My passion for Data and Analytics remains strong and will be the core focus of my new role.
Capgemini: A New Adventure After Academia
Capgemini, one of the world’s largest consulting corporations, has caught my attention. Unlike many other consulting companies, Capgemini does not yet have a dedicated team to offer effective strategies and solutions employing Big Data, Analytics, and Machine Learning. This presents an exciting opportunity for me to contribute and innovate.
My Vision: Building a Data-Driven Future at Capgemini
I love these technologies and am confident in my ability to elaborate a business development plan to drive business growth. Through customer and market definition, my plan includes new services such as:
- Data Science Strategy: Enabling organizations to solve problems with insights from analytics.
- Consulting: Answering questions using data.
- Development: Building custom tools like interactive dashboards, pipelines, customized Hadoop setup, and data prep scripts.
- Training: Offering various skill levels of training, from basic dashboard design to deep dives in R, Python, and D3.js.
This plan also includes a go-to-market strategy, which I’ll keep under wraps for now. Stay tuned for a retrospective reveal in the future!
Reflecting on My Transition from Academia
Making this transition from academia to a corporate role has been a considered decision. As I previously shared in my reflection on my software engineering internship at SAP, the blend of technological challenges and team collaboration has always intrigued me. Joining Capgemini allows me to continue pursuing my passion for data in a dynamic business environment.
Conclusion: Exciting Times Ahead
This transition from academia to Capgemini marks a thrilling new chapter in my career. I look forward to leveraging my expertise in Data and Analytics to contribute to Capgemini’s growth and innovation.
