In this interview I was thrilled to be joined by Louise Lowde, who shared her 20 year journey from an actuarial graduate to the head of data.

We dove into her passion for math and problem-solving, exploring the pivotal moment she transitioned from actuarial science to data analytics. Louise offers candid perspectives on her career's challenges and breakthroughs, including navigating gender bias in the tech industry and her personal strategy for maintaining a professional edge while embracing motherhood.

Over our chat we enjoyed a delicious Archie Rose Double Malt and Ginger Beer. Its base blend of malts—from their award-winning whisky—combined with a zesty, pop of Australian native finger lime made it the perfect, approachable 'starter whisky' for any palate.

I’ve had the pleasure of working previously with Louise and she is one of the most enthusiastic people about data and the tech industry I’ve ever met. I just know that her excitement and passion comes through in this interview and I can’t wait for you to hear it.

So pull up a chair, pour yourself a drink and join Louise and I for Data & Drams.
