????Yan Qu, Vice President of Data Science, ShareThis

????It may be hard to believe, but Yan Qu’s work impacts 95% of American readers. At the social web company ShareThis, she developed a Social Quality Index that measures the social activity around online content and helps advertisers and publishers target the right audiences. “The technical side isn’t hard,” she says. “What’s hard is identifying a business problem to apply the technical side to.” Qu is a graduate of Carnegie Mellon University, where she received her doctorate in natural language processing. Before ShareThis, she led the Advance Research team at AOL’s Advertising.com. Today, she's excited about tackling challenges presented by mobile phones, which don’t allow sites to plant cookies to identify repeat visitors. It's all part of an effort to collect—you guessed it—more data. —Shalene Gupta
