D3 = DATA + DESIGN -> DISRUPTI spun my team out of Capital One Labs to focus on creative uses of transaction data. The mission of this team of data scientists, designers, engineers, and PMs was to look beyond what's currently expected of a bank and deliver products that don't yet exist. Our portfolio covered products for two different customer bases:* For Consumers: Focus on driving engagement (e.g. mobile commerce, recommendation engines). Publicly released products included the Ideas app (media attached below).* For National Merchants: Focus on optimizing marketing ROI (e.g. business intelligence, offer targeting). Products included non-public pilots for well-known retail chains in the areas of online-to-offline attribution and market share monitoring. #DesignThinking #Lean

I began managing Capital One’s card-linked offers program (live to ~9 million customers) in late 2012. Our goal was to use transaction data to improve the relevance of our content and evolve an underperforming product into a positive and engaging customer experience. By end of 2013, we had successfully turned around our weekly feedback metric from deeply negative to consistently and solidly positive.* Restructured, recruited and oversaw a new team of 25+ across product, engineering, operations, analytics, and business development across three geographies* Evangelized a human-centered vision for both the live in-market product and the next gen prototype (developed concurrently) * Infused the team's work flow with Lean testing and Design Thinking principles* Managed relationships with external partners that sourced unique content from merchants, including most of the top 100 national retailers* Championed the overall importance of transaction data in emerging technologies at all levels (including the company CEO) and designed pilots of new data monetization businesses to spin out from the Deals program

I was a founding member of Capital One Labs and led the San Francisco office. The Lab was tasked with building new concepts for mobile commerce, digital platforms, emerging payments, and social media. Most of my work was as Product Manager of Capital One's Developer Platform. I led a cross-functional team to drive the conception, design, implementation, and launch of the company's initial API offering (OAuth, Deals API, and Rewards API) and developed initial in-market use cases with external startup partners (e.g. ShopSavvy, Klout).

I designed proprietary consumer research to generate actionable insights for marketing and product strategy. I tackled a different business sector (mostly in digital/mobile technologies) each month. The work involved comprehensive competitive analysis, with a focus on brand differentiation and customer segmentation.Markets covered included:- Distribution of Digital Media (TV/film)- Mobile Phones & Services- Broadband & Pay TV- Television and Set-Top Boxes- Online Advertising
