Bringing those disparate worlds together, he crafted a solution that dramatically reduced fraud losses. One data scientist who was studying a fraud problem, for example, realized it was analogous to a type of DNA sequencing problem.
And they don’t just deliver reports: They get at the questions at the heart of problems and devise creative approaches to them. They find the story buried in the data and communicate it.

Very early into the pandemic, we introduced special COVID leave for people who needed to care for their family or address COVID-related personal exigencies. In April last year, we organised sessions around mental health to help employees address anxiety and social isolation during lockdown. We also facilitated counselling for employees and family members. Additionally, we felt it was important to highlight the message that the burden of care should not just rest with women, and we did this by sharing stories of our male colleagues taking an active role in parenting and housework, while also hosting sessions on parenting as part of our mental health conversations. To give parents ‘time off’, we also moved our ‘summer camps for kids’ – something we do every year at TI - to a virtual format. Apart from this, we encouraged leaders and managers to speak to their teams and work out schedules that accommodated personal commitments. For instance, teams had their own customised routines, like ‘no meetings in the first half in order to help kids with studies’, etc.
Since this support structure was already in place, we had women employees approaching us for extended time off for childcare or parental care last year, and we were happy to enable that.
