Turning data into impact: A data scientist’s journey from the lab to the mine

January 19, 2026I was born in Paris and grew up on the Caribbean island of Guadeloupe and initially came to the US on a college basketball scholarship. My passion for numbers and building models led me to a master’s programs in data science. After working in New York and North Carolina for a few years, I decided to take my life and career back to Europe. McKinsey then offered me a role in Amsterdam in 2019, where I am now a principal data science lead at QuantumBlack, AI by McKinsey.
