I’m happy to present

Jose Parreño Garcia
as a guest author in this newsletter.

He helps tech leaders scale teams, guide aspiring data scientists, and levels you up in data visualization.

He also writes Senior Data Science Lead, a Substack newsletter where he shares his experiences building more than 50 data science teams in his career.

We originally published this piece in his newsletter and now we decided to refine it further and share it with you.

Without further ado, here’s Jose for you.
