Bio
Aysha Witcombe
I feel exceptionally lucky to have worked for Laila on a long-term project. Her leadership style provided space and encouragement to innovate new approaches, tempered with solid commercial focus. Whilst her hands-on approach and highly collaborative sharing of ideas made working with her fun and brought out the best solutions. Laila's boundless enthusiasm for anything data science meant that she kept abreast of current developments both in the data science field and what others were doing across the company. And that enthusiasm extended to sharing information with others through her excellent presentation skills and talent for explaining complex concepts in a simple manner to stakeholders of all levels. It was a real joy to work for Laila.
