Christine Pfeil

Director, Data Science Development Program MassMutual Financial Group

Christine Pfeil (pronounced FY-el) leads the Data Development Programs at MassMutual, including the Data Science Development Program (DSDP) in Amherst, Ma and the newly launched Data Engineering Development Program (DEDP) in Boston, Ma.  The DSDP and DEDP are based on three tenets of training and development: high impact project work alongside senior staff, multi-tiered mentorship and peer to peer training, and rigorous academic coursework. The programs’ success relies on team collaboration, partnerships with academic institutions, and a strengths-based approach to advising, learning, and development.  In addition to working with incredibly talented, curious, and dedicated individuals, Christine loves the opportunity to engage with community partners, whether it’s for a STEM outreach event, a hackathon, a technology fair, or a community “data for good” initiative. Christine has a bachelor’s degree in psychology and a Masters in Business Administration from Georgetown University, where she also worked for seven years as Associate Director of the Georgetown Scholars Program, promoting access and inclusion for first generation college students.
