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.

Data is at the foundation of everything at OCC.

We use business intelligence tools to package data in a visual way so each of our metrics can be understood at a glance.

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!”

You will certainly be surrounded by complex challenges at OCC. However, you’re never alone. You will be surrounded by brilliant colleagues who will support your endeavors to build viable solutions.
