STRENGTHENING OCC’S FOUNDATION OF DATA SKILLS
Director of Central Analytics Christopher Michaelson is working to strengthen a data-oriented culture within OCC — well beyond his team of analysts. “Self-service data enablement is the best way we can scale our impact on the organization,” he said. “While stakeholders might be uncomfortable working with data, equipping them with trusted data and the skills to answer their own questions broadens our reach immensely.” With robust data skills across the organization, Michaelson’s team is able to spend more time building solutions for and utilizing data from OCC’s SaaS applications.

TECHNICAL CURIOSITY
Finding empowerment in the freedom to explore
Before Callista Christ joined OCC, she was a data scientist in academia — a role she felt focused too much on end results. Now as a senior associate, Christ loves the freedom she has to play with tech during a project’s journey. “We’re very hands-on with various tools related to security scanning, CI/CD and data integrity,” she said. This approach empowers Christ to learn more and achieve her best work, which currently includes making OCC’s transition to the cloud transparent and measurable. “I’m excited to be in such a challenging environment with so many opportunities for growth!”
