2014年大数据行业最顶尖的人才有哪些？《财富》选出20位明星

    Adobe Digital Index首席分析师塔玛拉•加夫尼

    塔玛拉•加夫尼利用数据来预测未来。在Adobe数字系统公司，她的团队负责从使用Adobe云服务的用户那里反馈的数据来预测各种问题，比如哪部片子会获得奥斯卡奖，哪部大片会卖座，在冬季购物季有多少人会在网上购物等等。她的预测也的确非常了不起，在去年的圣诞购物季，加夫尼团队的预测只比实际情况低了1个百分点。她的经理朱莉•麦肯蒂表示：“她对科技的理解再加上她对人的行为的兴趣，使她非常与众不同。她好奇心很强，喜欢对数据划分模式、追踪线索，对事情的演变提出假设。”加夫尼的下一个项目，是对各种移动购物应用进行预测。——Shalene Gupta

    Tamara Gaffney, Principal Analyst, Adobe Digital Index

    Tamara Gaffney uses data to see the future. At Adobe Digital Systems she leads a team that mines data from the companies that use Adobe’s cloud to make predictions about who will win an Academy Award, which summer blockbusters will be profitable, and how much people will spend online during the winter holiday season. She's on the mark: during the last holiday buying rush, her team's predictions were off by only 1%. “Her unique blend of understanding technology and her interest in why people do things makes her a stand out,” says her manager Julie McEntee. “She’s curious, she loves determining patterns from data, chasing down leads, and hypothesizing why things might be.” For her next project, Gaffney is working on putting together a prediction about mobile shopping applications. —Shalene Gupta
