Jeff Hale is a data-driven operator and entrepreneur with 11+ years of experience marrying technology, operations, and finance across startups and nonprofit development. As a two-time cofounder and former COO of Rebel Desk, he led product, tech, and financial strategy, and now leverages that operator’s lens as a data scientist, educator, and author whose Towards Data Science work has been widely republished and once topped KDNuggets’ sharing charts. At Prefect he contributed to both frontend and backend improvements for a prominent open-source workflow orchestration project while leading developer education and community programs. Jeff holds an MBA/MS from the University of Arizona and combines statistical rigor with practical business sense—an inclination reflected in decision-analytic modeling earlier in his career. Outside work he’s an avid reader and Ultimate Frisbee player, and he brings that same team-oriented energy to building communities like Data Science DC.
