NEW YORK (PRWEB) April 09, 2019 -- On March 25, luminaries, C-suite executives, and top experts were honored at the Inaugural Award Ceremony of the Analytics Hall of Fame hosted at Pace University. Many of the most prominent names in the analytics and digital worlds were represented. Beth Comstock, bestselling author of “Imagine It Forward” kicked off the event, sharing her insights on change and innovation leadership, a pillar of the Analytics Hall of Fame. Comstock was interviewed by Neil Braun, Pace’s Lubin School of Business Dean and former Chairman and CEO of Viacom Entertainment.

The Lubin School of Business at Pace offers a graduate program, an MS in Customer Intelligence and Analytics, and an undergraduate program, a BBA in Business Analytics. Analytics is also integrated across all business disciplines. “Data analytics is part of every business discipline in every sector of the economy and at the Lubin School of Business at Pace we are integrating it across the curriculum in addition to specialized majors, minors and degree programs,” said Braun.

Comstock spoke about her career and how she anticipated and managed change. “I took my marketing degree seriously,” said Comstock. “I lived in the markets. Marketing is not about advertising, it’s about strategy and innovation and seeing where the world is going. So make sure you have a boss that will let you try something new.”

The second part of the event recognized influential leaders in the analytics field.

“We are now entering a ‘golden age’ of analytics,” said Tony Branda, DPS, Founder of the Analytics Hall of Fame and Professor of Digital Marketing and Analytics at Pace University’s Lubin School of Business. “In this new age, it is time for practitioners and academics of analytics to have their own Hall of Fame, the Analytics Hall of Fame, providing a well-deserved center stage to recognize unsung heroes and increase professional visibility.”

“I am thrilled with the support we received from those we consider to be superstars in the analytics and digital arena,” said Branda. “With the support of these inductees I am hopeful the Analytics Hall of Fame can build a strong membership base and powerful community.”

“Fifteen years ago, we didn’t have these practitioners called Chief Data Officer or Chief Analytics Officer,” said Heather Wilson, Chief Analytics and Data Officer, L Brands. “The financial crisis birthed all of this and even the digitization that is going on now. As a practitioner, I’ve enjoyed seeing the impact of analytics on healthcare, insurance, and banking, and now retail.”

Lubin offers courses, boot camps, and competitions in response to evolving needs in the marketplace. The school also works with corporate partners to host competitions that give students professional experience in data analytics consulting projects. Winning teams are awarded internships and job interviews for full-time placements. Recent competitions were hosted by Lubin with GroupM, the number one global media investment management group.
