Virginia Tech Trains Professionals to Lead in Data-Driven Businesses

By PoP Sponsor (a)

In today’s digital environment, organizations must collect vast volumes of data, analyze that data to retain high-value customers, predict trends, identify emerging markets, mitigate risk, drive innovation and more.

This means IT leaders must know how to gather and store information, combine data into meaningful clusters, mine it for compelling insights, and present it in a way that can help the business.

“Nowadays every company needs data-literate IT leaders who understand how to manipulate data, hear the voice of data, and translate insights into a competitive advantage for the business,” says Barbara Hoopes, Associate Professor of Business Information Technology at Virginia Tech.

For those companies or individuals looking to deepen their data analytics skill set, Virginia Tech’s online Master of Information Technology (VT-MIT) program provides an excellent foundation.

Is Sustainability Important When Remodeling Your Home?

By PoP Sponsor (a)

Hi PoPville readers! I’m Kristen Menichelli (she/her), and I’m a kitchen and bath designer.

My company, Green House Designs, was started to fulfill a need within the interior design world — providing homeowners with healthy design that’s sustainably and responsibly sourced.

Seven years ago, I transitioned from a career in theatrical design to home remodeling. As I worked with clients, I began to think more about the environmental and human impact of commonly used building materials. From the working conditions in granite mines to the sustainability of wood flooring options, the choices we make can have a major impact.

That’s why I work with my clients to give them the full picture, empowering them to make informed decisions.

Our homes are more important than ever, especially while we stay home to #flattenthecurve. My goal as a designer is to help clients create spaces that are beautiful, welcoming, and functional. This includes helping clients customize their homes to address specific needs, ranging from mobility issues to allergies.
