People to Watch 2016
As we spring forward into 2016, a select group of Big Data all-stars are stepping into the spotlight. In this inaugural year of Datanami’s People to Watch series, we’re offering our readers a look at some of the best and brightest minds in Big Data whose hard work, dedication, and contributions reach far beyond analytics, and are shaping the direction that technology is taking us – not only as an industry, but humanity at large. This is the cutting edge, and these are the people who are pushing the envelope.
