NEW YORK and LONDON, Dec. 5, 2017 /CNW/ -- Io-Tahoe LLC, a pioneer in machine learning-driven smart data discovery solutions that span data lakes and relational databases, today announced it has been accepted into the Forbes Technology Council, an invitation-only community for world-class CIOs, CTOs and technology executives.
Io-Tahoe's Chief Data Scientist, Dr. Winnie Cheng, joins other Forbes Technology Council members, who are hand-selected to become part of a curated network of successful peers and get access to a variety of exclusive benefits and resources, including the opportunity to submit thought leadership articles and short tips on industry-related topics for publishing on Forbes.com.
Forbes Councils combine an innovative, high-touch approach to community management perfected by the team behind Young Entrepreneur Council (YEC) with the extensive resources and global reach of Forbes. As a result, Forbes Council members get access to the people, benefits and expertise they need to grow their businesses — and a dedicated member concierge who acts as an extension of their own team, providing personalized one-on-one support.
"There is one inarguable certainty across virtually every size and type of business in the world – that data continues to grow exponentially, while becoming ever more complex to manage. Likewise, data management continues to evolve. What could previously be managed manually, must be managed via a vast IT network today. And yet, for most, the data and sophisticated networks that support it have grown to the point where efficient and effective management is nearly impossible. Of course, that's exactly where Io-Tahoe comes in – providing businesses and IT professionals with the ability to regain control and unlock valuable data insights," said Dr. Cheng. "I am delighted to be a member of the Forbes Technology Council and look forward to the opportunity it presents to work with like-minded thought leaders and innovators in their respective areas, to continue to push the boundaries of what is possible."
Scott Gerber, founder of Forbes Councils, said, "We are honored to welcome Io-Tahoe's Winnie Cheng into the community. Our mission with Forbes Councils is to curate successful professionals from every industry, creating a vetted, social capital-driven network that helps every member make an even greater impact on the business world."
