Why do you personally believe in data and data science?
Hu:
First and foremost, I believe in the power of data to transform industries.
That, ultimately, is what drives me every day, what attracts me to Next Big
Sound, and what has me very positive about the future. We can improve not
just how we understand music and the ways the music industry works but
also improve people's lives in all areas—such as saving children from being
targeted, or protecting humanitarian efforts, or having a better baseball player.
Every field can and, I think, will be revolutionized by data to differing degrees.
Working closely with people and getting to the bottom of what they need,
telling stories about what you do that really excite people and convey your
message well, and then thinking big—those are the important things. I am
really excited to see how data is going to touch different fields and different
industries, and I am excited to be a part of that future, helping to improve
people's lives.
