The data strategy Show has been voted in the top 10 podcasts in 2022 by onlydatajobs and was voted in at number 11 in the top 40 strategy podcasts for 2022 by Feedspot. So, I wanted to say a HUGE BIG thank you to all the listeners out there for your support and I’m hugely excited about where the show will go in the future. Now on to today’s episode, I’m delighted to have the very determined and goal focused Ranil Boteju on as my guest! Ranil is super passionate about all things people and looks at the world of data and analytics through the lens of diversity in skill, thought, background and not necessarily just from a tech perspective. He believes in being your authentic self in the workplace and not being a corporate automaton. His first aha moment in data was the moment he felt like a data detective and hunting down the insights made him feel at home. Ranil is currently the Group Chief Data and Analytics Officer at Lloyds Banking Group. Helping Britain Prosper is our Bank’s Purpose and enabling this very inspiring mission with Data and A.I is his goal. He is the accountable Executive for delivering the Bank's Data Strategy. I loved the conversation with Ranil and his spiritual side shone through, not only the fact he wants to go and spend a year in an ashram, but also would love to teach “how to be happy” at school to remind children that it’s not just about facts and figures, but true happiness. He’s never afraid to try new things and loves to have people around him who challenge him and keep him on his toes! I hope you enjoy this episode please do like, share, and comment, and enjoy listening to Ranil. Behind every data leader there is a person and here is Ranil unplugged.
