I turn messy data into decisions that move the business.

With 20 years working in large, data-rich organizations, I help teams make sense of complexity, translating data into decisions that improve real business outcomes.

Do any of these sound familiar...?

Lost trust in data

You keep asking the same questions quarter after quarter and still not getting clear answers.

Different dashboards show different numbers, and no one can explain which one is “right”.

Confused and stuck

The business is underperforming, and there are a thousand things you can focus on to help. But you don't know which levers to prioritize.

You have a ton of fancy dashboards but decision-making has not improved.

Everyone is busy but progress is lacking

Your teams spend hours and hours stringing together reports, pulling different pieces from different systems.

Your analytics team is busy and reactive, but nothing ever quite feels finished or trusted.

I bring consistency, insight and direction

My work with clients typically involve one or more of the following:

Set the foundation

  • Data pipelines that ensure consistency
  • Define key metrics in alignment with business goals
  • Empower business teams to "geek out" with clean, reliable data

Extract value from data

  • Communicate deep insights without the fluff or technical lingo
  • Employ advanced analytics and predictive modeling to drive operational efficiency
  • Provide intuitive and action-oriented dashboards to business leaders

Advisory & leadership

  • Develop broader data strategy from hiring to execution
  • Translate business questions into durable data work
  • Build cross-functional bridges to turn data teams into

My work is remote, hands-on, and outcome-focused.
