Panelist: Colleen McCue

Principal Data Scientist at CACI

Bringing more science, less fiction to data science practice, Dr. Colleen McCue understands that meaningful, scalable and sustainable data science capacity requires more than math. Operationalizing her experience as an individual practitioner, she brings demonstrated success leading transdisciplinary teams in support of fresh insight and innovative solutions to complex challenges that include successful adoption and use of advanced analytics capabilities, analytic capacity development, and the formation and growth of analytically competitive data science and analysis teams. An enterprising and visionary analytics leader with experience converting data science aspiration into action, she helps organizations develop the analytic “power skills” necessary to move beyond simply chasing opportunity; empowering them to realize the promise of advanced analytics as a real, measurable competitive advantage. Dr. McCue earned her bachelor’s degree from the University of Illinois at Chicago, her doctorate from Dartmouth College, and completed a five-year postdoctoral fellowship at the Medical College of Virginia, Virginia Commonwealth University.
