The Job

About Descartes & Mauss: If there is one thing we learnt in the last couple of years is that disruption is the new normal. Anticipation and preparedness are more critical than ever for companies to thrive in uncertainty. To do so, businesses don’t need more data; they need to make sense of the data.
