“At the BAI, I was able to deepen and develop my practical knowledge and skills in the field of Data Science. I believe the interdisciplinary combination of marketing and data science holds great potential, particularly in blockchain technology, AI, and machine learning. It is always worthwhile to think outside the box!”
