I am a strategic leader who is passionate about solving problems. I am driven to find opportunities for efficiency, innovate solutions, and socialize them as best practices. I have a proven history of building and managing high performing teams in the data management, analytic consulting, and data science arenas. I value collaboration and have fostered partnerships across matrixed organizations. As an Analytic Manager, I challenge and motivate my teams to provide the best consultation on operations and efficiencies. I awarded two people from my team with trips to an enterprise-wide recognition conference for high-performing team members in Information Technology. I believe in building a rapport with business partners and peers so I can understand their needs and have a mutual trust in our interactions. This ensures I can provide actionable strategies via thought leadership, sound analyses, and positivity. I believe that all successful operations should be founded with an analytical approach consisting of automated and accessible data with unchallenged and consistent definition. I have demonstrated that I can both design and guide the development of technical solutions which stand up to the rigors of business and technical functions. I am a SAS enthusiast with well over 10 years of expert level development experience delivering insightful visualizations and information. I was part of a three person team who won a time-constrained competition / hackathon at the SAS Analytic Experience conference in 2018. So, I can still contribute as an individual in addition to my management abilities. I also have many years experience with data from Teradata, SQL, Oracle, DB2, Sybase and other relational databases. In addition, I have developed many ETL processes to consume complex unstructured and non-relational text data. I have navigated my career into more leadership and management responsibilities. I really enjoy mentoring others and helping junior developers grow into highly skilled data scientists.
