With a Ph.D. in engineering and 15+ years of experience in leadership roles spanning academic, startup, and corporate settings, my technical background and strong business acumen have enabled me to solve an array of complex problems from a unique perspective. I specialize in driving business value by building high-performing data and analytics (D&A) teams that extract actionable insights to enhance decision-making and improve stakeholder experience. I thrive in turn-around situations that demand pragmatic and enduring analytical solutions to the company’s most dire problems. I lead by fostering an environment that empowers individuals’ natural strengths and encourages curiosity, creativity and continuous learning. I am most proud of my teams’ track record in relentlessly executing on a holistic data and analytics strategy and delivering on the elusive promise that ML and AI will generate a constant stream of information that facilitates greater cross-functional collaboration, transforms how the business operates, and creates a sustainable competitive advantage.
