In a nutshell

My teams and I unlock the power of data by creating intelligent systems that learn from the past to make valuable decisions at high speed and large scale.

I am a data driven story teller, defining success precisely and communicating it clearly is key to achieving it.

I believe in intentional culture creation and clear communication. Trust and a working agreement allows us to run faster in the same direction.
