Bio

As Principal Data Scientist at Teradata, I drive efforts to provide artificial intelligence (AI) and machine learning (ML) solutions. When I was Director, Marketing Data Science and Analytics at NBCUniversal, I led a team in collecting, analyzing and communicating data to grow our business. Throughout my career I've combined technology and business, leading to a $80M increase as a product marketer (NBCUniversal), starting a $70M event doing business planning / finance (Disney), and raising $250K in grants as an engineer (Rockwell). Moreover, my current role brings me back to my roots when I developed machine learning algorithms as a technologist, where my heart is. I pride myself on purposeful work, whether it be advancing scientific knowledge or putting smiles on faces. Developing people and giving back are crucial to me as the son of immigrants who built a business with the help of mentors. For me, development includes not only the 6 promotions, 5 employees of the quarter, and 3 employees of the year awards I've had the privilege of giving, but also the dozens of college scholarships I have awarded in 15 years. I feel honored to have advanced these peoples' careers from interns and coordinators to directors and co-founders, advised them on business schools, and attended their weddings and other life events. Finally, I excel when challenged with a problem and told to just ''figure it out.'' Three times I have started a new department in response to the company's need. I draw upon a multi-disciplinary background, learn new skills, and add new competencies to the company. More importantly, I am at my best building something from scratch to increase the company's revenue.
