I am a Product Manager for Cogent Syndicated’s Audience Insights on-demand products at Escalent. I began my career as an Investment Analyst after earning an MBA. As a bottoms-up valuation equities analyst, I learned that the context and story around a company, an industry or the economy is everything. Nothing happens in a vacuum and everything is interconnected. I have since learned to take that storytelling and contextual analysis focus to the arena of market research. Here I spent 7 years working for Capital Group | American Funds honing my analytical and storytelling skills in both quantitative and qualitative methodologies. Today, I have been providing insights and guidance to financial services firms with a focus on financial advisors and affluent investors covering a wide variety of marketing and investment product iniatives. My desire to strive for greater contextual understanding of a situation coupled with my background in the wealth management field makes me a natural consultant for companies within the financial services arena.
