Data scientist: The sexiest job of the 22nd century

Data science has been called "the sexiest job of the 21st century" -- a sentiment I'd believe if I saw more business leaders hiring data scientists into environments where we can be effective. Instead, many of us feel misunderstood and invisible. We are the people who help inspire new directions for your business, reduce your risk of setting important decisions on fire, and automate the ineffable through machine learning and AI. We make your data useful, yet you make us live in resource squalor. Unskilled leadership -- If you don't have personnel skilled at leading and managing the data science function, we'll have a miserable time.
