Data Editor, The Beat

Dominika Szatkowska brings over fifteen years of data engineering and business intelligence experience to The Beat's editorial team. Her background spans the full data stack — from front-end reporting and requirements analysis to large-scale pipeline architecture using Azure Synapse Analytics and PySpark — giving her an unusually grounded perspective on the AI and data stories that drive The Beat's coverage.

As Data Editor, Dominika reviews coverage in the Models & Research, Tools & Engineering, and Finance & Markets topics, focusing on stories where the technical claims require scrutiny. She flags where numbers don't hold up, where benchmark comparisons mislead, and where the real story is buried beneath the press release.

In her main role she is a Data Engineer at Zurich Insurance, where she has spent over fourteen years working across business intelligence, data integration, and large-scale analytics infrastructure. She holds a degree in Artificial Intelligence from the Polish-Japanese Academy of Information Technology. She is based in Switzerland.
