Topic

Like most companies, Deliveroo has a set of values. However, we can probably all think of examples of companies that have values buried somewhere on their intranet pages but no-one else really bothers with. And often the data science team has its own culture, right? And that might be different from the company culture. Not at Deliveroo.

In this session, I want to take you through some examples of what it is like working in Data Science at Deliveroo. I’m going to share with you real examples of work done by our brilliant team and I’m going to talk about how we live our values and why they matter to me...and why values should matter to you

Speakers

Richard Smithies | Senior Data Science Manager

Richard Smithies has led marketing, analytics and data science teams for over 30 years, in 9 different companies, both client side and in agencies, including roles at Experian, Santander, dunnhumby, Barclays and now Deliveroo. In that time, he has experienced a range of different working cultures and has gained an appreciation of why culture is important in data science teams. Richard is proud of his Yorkshire heritage and so expect straight-talking, elongated 'o' sounds and some traditional Northern humourining the roadmap for the team, ensuring that we prioritise the highest impact initiatives to meet our objectives, and driving collaboration and alignment across the broader Deliveroo business. She will be introducing Care and detailing how we measured success.
