DAVE COUGHLIN

Executive Director of Data Science

"Data storytelling is what allows analytics to do stuff. The name alone resonated because that's something we've always been doing here at CVS. The discussions with peers across the industry stood out to me. It's a great way to meet fellow Data Science leaders and gain a perspective that allows you to look around the corner."
