Summary
Daniel Hernández is a data leader with 10 years of experience who currently directs Data at GoStudent, unifying data engineering, analytics engineering, ML, and analysis across multiple business units and acquisitions. He has a strong track record of building scalable data platforms and semantic layers (dbt Cloud, Lightdash, BigQuery) that standardize measurement and enable AI-driven workflows while cutting costs and operational complexity. Daniel blends hands-on technical delivery—forecasting, ML deployment, and IoT analytics in energy and ecommerce—with people leadership, having grown and merged cross-company teams into a single data organization. He also teaches Python and machine learning at IE School of Science and Technology, reflecting a commitment to knowledge transfer and practical education. Trained in data science and mining engineering and sharpened by leadership coursework at IMD, he is as comfortable in the codebase as he is shaping data strategy with product and commercial stakeholders.
