Maryam Ramezani-Bartsch is a Data and AI leader with more than 20 years of experience leading data teams across big corporates such as adidas, Sky, Delivery Hero, and Zalando. Her career has spanned the full arc of the modern data field, and she has built, led, and developed data teams through changing technologies, reorganizations, and the arrival of generative AI.

Having seen so many waves of technical change from the inside, Maryam’s current focus is on what does not change: the human skills that determine whether data professionals and leaders actually thrive. On the DataTalksClub podcast she discussed how to use human skills to succeed in the AI era, drawing on lessons from two decades of leadership in demanding, large-scale corporate environments.

Based in Berlin, she continues to work at the intersection of data, AI, and leadership, and shares her perspective with the broader data community through speaking and mentoring.
