How Tobe’s Data Techcon Is Redefining Data and AI Careers, and Business Transformation

NATIONWIDE - DECEMBER 2025 - (USAnews.com) — In a world where the future of work hinges on artificial intelligence (AI), Tobe is leading the charge to make AI and data skills accessible to those who need them most. Her journey, from building cutting-edge data & AI solutions for YouTube at Google to founding Data Techcon, a company dedicated to transforming careers and businesses through AI, represents a powerful narrative of purpose over prestige, impact over tradition, and inclusion over exclusivity.

For Tobe, it was never about merely working for a tech giant. It was about using her expertise to drive change, unlocking AI's potential for people who have traditionally been excluded from elite tech environments. Her story is not just about AI; it’s about empowerment, equity, and redefining how we approach the future of work.

A Vision Born from Big Tech

Tobe’s career trajectory is marked by a series of groundbreaking steps that started at Google, where she was a Growth Data Scientist for YouTube. During her time there, Tobe used AI frameworks and data-driven strategies to scale YouTube’s subscription products, ultimately helping YouTube Premium grow to 125 million paid subscribers worldwide. “I didn’t leave Google because I stopped loving the work, I left because I loved the impact more,” she reflects.

Before her time at Google, Tobe’s passion for AI and data literacy led her to found Data Techcon as a community-led initiative aimed at making tech careers accessible to underrepresented groups. What began as a small, mission-driven project quickly gained momentum. Over 2,000 non-technical professionals have since transitioned into data science and analytics roles, with some securing positions at major companies like Amazon, Meta, AT&T, Dell, NBC, JP Morgan Netflix, PepsiCo, Capital One and other fortune 500 companies

Before joining Google, Tobe’s passion for AI and data literacy inspired her to launch Data Techcon as a community-led movement to make tech careers accessible to underrepresented professionals. What started as a small, mission-driven initiative quickly grew into a powerful career accelerator. To date, over 2,000 non-technical professionals have successfully transitioned into data and analytics roles, with alumni now working at FAANG & Fortune 500 organizations.

The turning point came when Tobe realized that she could do more, she could reach more people and have a larger impact. So, she made a bold decision: she left Google to fully focus on empowering those who have been historically excluded from opportunities in Big Tech. “The future of work belongs to people who can apply AI strategically, not just talk about it,” Tobe says. And that philosophy has since been embedded into every aspect of Data Techcon.
