Nathan J. Shepherd Email & Phone Number

My name is Nathan Shepherd and I partner with the federal government in the National Capital area to implement policy in the environment, health care, and defense fields by identifying creative ways to build consensus, leverage data, and apply advanced analytics. Using my expertise in policy analysis, consensus building, data science, and process improvement, I have guided diverse stakeholders towards practical policies and identified significant efficiencies in government management.I gain immense satisfaction from weighing competing interests, balancing priorities, and implementing collaborative, practical policies about the things I really care about. These include preserving the incredible places, animals, and natural beauty that abound around us (even in our urban enclaves). It also includes building a future for the next generation where human safety, health, and economic opportunity thrive in clean, healthy ecosystems.I believe that success implementing policy requires willingness to learn and grow quickly. When given the chance to undertake a significant task for my company designing and implementing data quality assays of issuer health care data, I was willing and able to learn VBA programming from scratch to code 14,000 lines of sophisticated data manipulations and checks. My success served my company and my client well, resulting in institutionalizing the "Data Integrity Tool" as the fastest way to assure compliance with detailed regulations.I am on LinkedIn to forge strong professional relationships. Please connect with me.

Listed skills include Data Analysis, Research, Leadership, Public Speaking, and 38 others.
