Finding your niche is one thing, but succeeding in it requires a deeper sense of responsibility to be better at what you do, if not the best.
As businesses continuously shift to digitalization, one of the most crucial roles to fill is data manager. A Statista study shows that the data industry’s five-year forecast is looking bright, as the data market’s revenue worldwide is expected to reach $103 billion by 2027. Companies now invest heavily in data managers who will oversee their entire data lifecycles.
Wilfred Guiriba is one of the pioneer data team members of Spot Ship. Here, he shares how his perseverance in honing his skills has made him advance from a specialist to a manager in just less than two years.
