Tennyson believes that AI/Machine Learning projects are inherently fun and worth doing, but also that outside of a few select environments, companies want to see clear business value from those projects. He loves helping people to create and see the business value of these projects through facilitating analytics translation courses at GoDataDriven Academy.

In terms of formal training, Tennyson has a master’s degree in business administration from the University of Amsterdam and a bachelor’s degree in Actuarial Science from the University of Cape Town. His prior professional work experience was as a consultant in KPMG South Africa’s Actuarial Services team, assisting a variety of clients in actuarial modelling and other risk management-related projects.
