Certificate Graduate: Karolis Urbonas, Amazon

Karolis Urbonas

The Statistics.com courses have helped me a lot, pushing me to the limit and making me learn much more than I expected I could. The knowledge I gained I could immediately leverage in my job … then eventually led to landing a job in my dream company – Amazon.

-Karolis Urbanas, Global Head of Machine Learning & Science at Amazon Web Services (AWS)

Karolis was working as a business analytics manager at Western Union when he enrolled in the Programming for Data Science Certificate program in January 2015.

What brought you to Statistics.com?

I was deciding between Statistics.com program and other MOOC’s but the small classes and focus on teacher-student communication at Statistics.com was one of the reasons I chose Statistics.com over others.

Have the skills you learned helped you at work?

The courses have helped me a lot, pushing me to the limit and making me learn much more than I expected I could. The knowledge I gained I could immediately leverage in my job. The first thing I did was build a churn predictive model which turned operational and was eventually built into one of the core pillars of CRM strategy.

What’s next for you?

aws logo After one year into the program, I got an offer from Amazon’s EU headquarters in Luxembourg to build and lead the Data Science team in Amazon Devices EU team. Statistics.com’s Certififate program has helped me become a strong professional in the field of analytics, gain confidence with its learning-by-doing analytic projects, which eventually led to building my own successful analytic projects portfolio, which eventually led to landing a job in my dream company – Amazon.
