Guest Host Daniel Yellin speaks with John Dryden, a lead data scientist based in our Los Angeles office. John spent a decade working in industry data science roles before joining Bain in 2022. He recently won Bain’s Global Hackathon by creating CreationSpace (formerly known as Seer), an AI-driven consumer insights platform, which is now part of our Founder's Studio and will soon spin out as a standalone startup. Listen to John's journey from industry to consulting and how Bain helped him develop a tech startup.   John isn't the only data scientist who has stopped by the show to share their Bain experience. After hearing from John, listen to our episode with Sharona Sankar-King on "Why More Data Scientists are Coming to Bain."    Curious about how Bain's Global Hackathon produces new startups and CEOs? Listen to our episode with Patrick Obeid ("Patrick Obeid’s Journey from Bain Consultant to an ESG CEO"), a previous winner who now leads as CEO of ESG Flo, the leading ESG software that leverages AI to seamlessly automate the collection and transformation of ESG data into audit-ready metrics.
