Benjamin Taub
CEO
Describing himself as a recovering CPA, Ben served as an accountant and auditor early in his career. He quickly shifted careers to his primary interests of information technology, data management, and decision support techniques. Before starting Dataspace, a data and analytics consulting/staffing and recruiting company, he was an early employee of business intelligence pioneer MicroStrategy. He now also oversees Golden Record, a cloud-based data matching, deduplication, and analysis tool that grew out of needs he saw in his various consulting assignments.
Ben has led efforts in the fields of analytics, data management, and data warehousing for over 30 years and has coauthored three books on the topic, Oracle 8 Data Warehousing, Oracle 8I Data Warehousing, and SQL Server 7 Data Warehousing, the first two in the Oracle Press series and the last published by the Osborne division of McGraw Hill. He speaks frequently and advises major corporations and charitable organizations issues of analytics, data science, and data engineering strategy and team development.
Ben has a Bachelor’s degree in Economics and Business from Lehigh University and a Master of Business Administration from The University of Michigan.

Katie previously led recruiting at Dataspace for more than five years. She loves solving the puzzle of meeting each of our clients’ unique needs, and has a knack for finding hidden gems when it comes to data talent. Her experienced and pragmatic approach means she considers a candidate from every angle, so she’s able to catch details other agencies miss.
