This year’s program includes 250 DS4A Fellows who were selected from over 5,000 applicants from 10 countries. Fellows include top PhDs, researchers, and early-career practitioners, along with executives who manage teams of data-driven professionals.

“Data literacy is increasingly becoming a requirement for all business leaders. Every industry is becoming more data-driven, and as they do, effective leaders must become data literate,” said Sham Mustafa and Rasheed Sabar, Correlation One’s Co-Founders and Co-CEOs. “The DS4A / Women program is designed to meaningfully increase the number of qualified women leaders in data and analytics, as well as in product management, business intelligence, marketing, people analytics, financial trading, and every industry being disrupted by data.”

The program is supported by employer partners who create fellowships that allow participants to partake at no cost. The first group of companies that have pledged their support includes Jane Street, TIAA, and WorldQuant. These companies also offer invaluable professional mentorship and job opportunities to graduating Fellows.
