Summary
Harsha Mallajosyula is a data leader with a decade of experience applying analytics, machine learning and policy analysis to civic and social-impact problems. Currently Director of Data at Black Wealth Data Center, he leads teams that ingest, transform and visualize datasets to advance research and stakeholder engagement on racial wealth disparities. Former Chief Data Officer for the City of Paterson and Deputy CDO for Los Angeles, he built open data platforms, ran randomized controlled trials with academic partners, and turned municipal data into evidence for policy and operational improvements. His background spans product analytics, forecasting and BI from Edmodo to global supply-chain work—grounded in strong engineering roots from semiconductor design and scripting. He combines technical fluency (Python, SQL, AWS, Tableau) with executive experience setting strategy and culture, and a less-obvious strength in translating complex research into actionable civic programs. Based in New York, he blends public policy training from UC Berkeley with hands-on data science to drive measurable social impact.
