Women Lead Data

The Power of Networking and Community Building with Jerrie Kumalah of dbt Labs

Lindsay Murphy Season 1 Episode 9

In this episode, Lindsay is joined by Jerrie Kumalah, Resident Data Architect at dbt Labs, to learn more about her career journey in the data industry. Jerrie’s career started in public health conducting research and analysis, where she eventually transitioned her focus into data science and then discovered the world of analytics engineering. Most recently she has moved into her current role as Resident Architect at dbt Labs (an exciting mix between working at a tech scale-up and serving as an internal consultant!). Jerrie shares her thoughts with us about why networking and community building can be such an important part of your career development (and how to do it properly). We also try to answer the question: Can women really “have it all” (an ambitious career and a fulfilling home life)?

dbt Labs is the creator of dbt (data build tool)–a data transformation software that allows you to build and test business logic, ensure data quality, and fix issues proactively before they impact your business.
