Zubia Mansoor

I am a Vancouver-based Machine Learning Scientist at Lululemon Athletica, where I support the machine learning and data science needs of the global digital marketing, e-commerce, and product teams. Before this, I graduated from Simon Fraser University in Canada with a master's in statistics, specialising in data science, machine learning, and computer vision.
I enjoy working with data and exploring new industries, ranging from a quantitative analyst at a billion-dollar pension fund, a research collaborator on COVID-19 host genetics, to a statistical consultant at a multinational paper manufacturing company. Today, my work involves taking on leadership roles, extracting business value in deep learning, and coding with different programming languages. I am a part of several women-centric technology organisations, have taught data science and machine learning courses, and mentored students at hackathons. Outside of work, I enjoy painting, swimming, and building support & advocacy for women/women of colour in S.T.E.M.!

Growing up as an Indian-Muslim woman, my experiences have allowed me to empathise with underrepresented communities. It was essential to me to break away from the patriarchal society I was surrounded by and carve my path. My goal is to support others in their journey through mentorship and equip them with the tools to create their paths.
