About the Author
Joshua Sullivan (born March 1978) is an American computer scientist, business leader, and author who specializes in machine intelligence and data science, with past research in network tomography. Sullivan authored The Mathematical Corporation and is a contributing author of The Field Guide to Data Science. He currently resides in the Washington, DC metropolitan area.
Sullivan was a staff engineer with the U.S. government. Later he served as a technical director for a small engineering firm in Virginia, leading enterprise software development and deployment for large-scale software intelligence systems. Sullivan joined the technology and management consulting firm Booz Allen Hamilton in September 2005. Considered the firm's chief data scientist, he focuses on cyber analytics, computer vision, and machine learning. He is the author of The Mathematical Corporation, a book which details practical approaches for leaders to use analytics to predict and prescribe radical new actions for the future. The book aims to help leaders develop the skills to collaborate with machines to define a new destiny in a post-analytics future.
He is co-author of The Field Guide to Data Science. Now in its second edition, the Field Guide is a popular resource for senior leaders seeking field-tested approaches, personal tips and tricks, and real-life case studies to guide their data science journey. Sullivan created the Data Science Bowl in partnership with Kaggle, the predictive modeling platform. In December 2014, Booz Allen and Kaggle launched the first-ever Data Science Bowl, now the premier data science for social good competition.
