Collin Smith

I'm the Director of Operations for The Data School New York at The Information Lab US, where I lead the recruitment, training, and development of future data leaders. I take a hands-on approach to building the next generation of talent, guiding consultants through an intensive, real-world program that has helped The Data School earn a reputation for training some of the world’s best data analysts. I'm passionate about finding individuals with the potential to excel — and giving them the skills, support, and experience they need to make an immediate impact. I also oversee TIL+, The Information Lab’s pro bono consulting program, helping nonprofits harness data to fuel their missions.

My career has always been rooted in data, education, and social impact, and I bring both strategic insight and a passion for community-building to everything I do. Before joining The Information Lab, I worked at PBS and in the nonprofit sector, using data to drive meaningful change. I also co-lead the Accessibility Tableau User Group, where I advocate for more inclusive practices in data visualization. Outside of work, you’ll usually find me cooking, exploring Prospect Park, reading, or playing piano.
