I didn't say necessarily a PhD in machine learning. I think, generally speaking, that a technical PhD vs an MBA could make for a better data scientist. This said, I don't have an MBA, and most of the MBA people I know are not technical at all or try to stay away from the "technicalities". There's for sure a huge need of technically and business savvy people.
