My mission in life is driving better outcomes through insight. 

I do this by taking companies and organizations through the short-, medium- and long-term phases of building insight platforms. Rolling up my sleeves, I target critical business questions, design common data models, and build data warehouses that deliver now and keep delivering. Always focused on solving for the pain of business users, I scale the insight platform by building highly performing analytics engineering squads with a balance of product management, agile methodology and technical architecture.

Thanks to nearly three decades of solving customer questions, I have a rare combination of technical know-how and senior management acumen, and I possess the skills and experience to excel for clients ranging from 50 to 5,000 employees. My projects include building data teams at Hubspot, ezCater, Fitbit and Trip Advisor. I’ve also had the good fortune to consult with hundreds of clients, giving me experience across every industry vertical. Along the way, I was an early adopter of Snowflake, Looker, Redshift, Netezza and Tableau, recognizing them as tools with tremendous promise before they became household names.

I measure success by clients learning to use data in all their decisions instead of relying on guesswork. I want my clients to spin the flywheel of Learning, Thinking and Doing faster. To get them there, I bring real empathy, recognizing that the best solutions are based on People, Process and Technology. Finally, I’ve learned the hard way that the real value of analytics and data science doesn’t come in one big payoff but rather through a continuous cycle of discovery and collaborative hard work.
