Bio

Southern California analytics, marketing, product, revenue and data science executive with a growth mindset. Currently, I'm building revenue through analytics for RTB House, a leading DSP using Deep Learning to inform prediction and drive performance. 15+ years of experience in technology and analytics leadership roles. Able to effectively communicate complex concepts at a level commensurate with the sophistication of the audience, and able to keep team members focused on analysis that drives relevant decisions. Deep understanding of how to create competitive advantage using best-in-class analytics and how to message the story to the marketplace. I enjoy working with all types of data and systems, from high-volume ''big data'' transactional logs to aggregate KPIs. Experienced speaker, creator of executive content, press interviewee, and global evangelist. I love the whiteboard but will happily take the ''hot seat'' on a panel if I can help there too! Analytics is far too interesting -- and surprisingly fun -- to keep in the back room. Let's bring your company story to life with data. I also still write some code. Fact is, any [Head|(EV|SV|V)P|Dir] of Analytics should still be able to crank out something in R, SQL, or Python when the need arises. A little first-hand experience goes a long way with developing team members and building internal street cred. Sure, most work time is rightfully devoted to presentations, coordination, strategy, leadership, review, developing others, education, etc. ... but it's still a great feeling to high-five a colleague when we fix a bug.
