The Trust in SODA Podcast

Women in Data: Making Data Meaningful, with Kimberly Schmitt

SODA Social Episode 38

In this episode of the Women in Data podcast, the Trust in SODA team caught up with data extraordinaire and Interim Head of Engineering at Babbel, Kimberly Schmitt. From building a data-driven platform to combat homelessness to developing innovative products at Babbel, tune in to hear Kimberly's one-of-a-kind journey through tech. 

Kimberly Schmitt places emphasis on strong team and product development, especially those providing data insights. Her drive to develop high-performing and quality data platforms and related services began when she led efforts to use data to understand and address the challenge of homelessness. She led a team of data analysts and engineers to develop a centralised means of identifying those experiencing homelessness and connecting them to the appropriate housing resources. 

Kimberly has continued to lead teams composed of data analysts and engineers, including software engineers. These teams provide even greater opportunities to explore the ways in which their varying expertise can be used to create collaborative processes to deliver meaningful products. The teams at Babbel are now delivering evolving data products that enable organisations to address workplace challenges and promote targeted learning for their team members.
