I am an experienced entrepreneur and executive with expertise in data, product and go-to-market strategy. Most of my career has been focused on developing novel data and technology products at the intersection of finance, economics and AI. This confluence of knowledge and experience allowed me to build an NLP company, Prattle, from an academic idea, through venture backing and to a successful exit. As the co-founder and CEO of Outrigger Group, I provide fractional Chief Data Officer, Chief Analytics Officer, and Chief AI Officer services to midsize and large companies, as well as consulting and advisory services to early and growth stage companies. I have served as an advisor or board member to more than three dozen companies, helping them grow and scale. In one case, this also resulted in co-founding a spinoff company: MarketReader democratizes financial analysis by helping investors understand what is causing market moves in real time.
