PeopleOps Lead

• Jul 2022 - Present

⭐️ We are Data Chefs, a group of data specialists cooking the best recipes for our clients. For companies that have lots of scattered data, no time for (more?) trial and error and no need to be convinced further with the "Data is the new oil" shiny slides, we just deliver data platform and machine learning products that will be used by real people for real goals. ⭐️ We demystify (big) data and simplify information as we learned: there is always a human in the loop. Without organisational change and support, even the best recipes won't move the needle. ⭐️ We are AWS experts who begin from our clients' unique (and not always big) data requirements, then translate them to the fastest achievable solution using AWS services. We never start from or make a salad of AWS services just because we know them very well. ⭐️ While many consultancies are excited with lots of opportunities and are focused on headcount growth, we chose to be like a unique, cosy restaurant with limited tables, chefs who know and are willing to know every client, and always deliver the best experience as we value their trust in us above and beyond any growth metric. ⭐️ We believe in building a safe home here, where all chefs come with an owner mindset, have a say in building this company together, the place and people they chose to spend the best hours of life there and with.
