First Person, with Matt Egan · 2025-10-13 · 26 min
We meet Mike Vaughan, chief data officer of a large organization in the financial sector, and in his words blessed with a wonderful family and work life. Mike tells us how he got into technology through coding for his Commodore PC, inspired by the ability to do something creative. How he parlayed that into a computer science degree, then went to work in a textile mill because he chose to work with good people. He describes a career spend in app development, and then data; making the transition from manufacturing to finance. He shares how he learnt along the way the value of a deep understanding on his organizations' goals, and the power of knowing what you don't know. But above all he speaks to the power of working with great people in a good team.
