Summary
Yvonne Lau is Head of Data at Rocketmiles with a decade of experience turning product and supply-side problems into data-driven decisions through analytics, experimentation, and SQL-first data pipelines. She leads a blended team of data scientists and engineers, shipping production ranking models and Python APIs while owning experimentation frameworks and dbt/Spark/Hive pipelines. Comfortable toggling between hands-on work (SQL, Python, Bash) and strategic roadmapping, she also operationalizes ML via AWS services like Redshift and SageMaker. Her background in economics and mathematics from Yale, plus language study in Mandarin, gives her a rare mix of quantitative rigor and cross-cultural communication useful for cross-functional collaboration.
