Ada Tong
Ada is currently Product Director of Property Data Solutions at Domain - she started her career as a GI actuary, before moving into analytics + data science, and most recently she has re-invented herself as a product manager. She has worked in Asia + Australia and has worked in airlines, loyalty programs, banking, insurance, retail and property. It all sounds pretty diverse and random but the theme that pulls her career together has been "doing all the things that actually makes data useful". |
