IQVIA is a Global CRO with like 80-90k employees. They do two things really well. Running clinical trials (Phases I-IV) and vacuuming up healthcare data (claims, EMR, sales, etc., https://www.iqvia.com/insights/the-iqvia-institute/available...)

Are you implying you believe there are additional companies outside of the S&P 500 that employ a significant percentage of data scientists?

It could be a substantial long tail. Hard to know without the data.

Great content! It is interesting to see all the names; as far as I know, at least 3-4 companies use massive talent from LATAM in the Data-AI space.

Interesting data re: consolidation of talent (in addition to parallel themes of consolidation of compute, LLMs, etc.)
