As the Director of Data Strategy & Operations at Ventura, a premier reseller of The Trade Desk, I co-lead the planning, development, and deployment of robust data solutions that digitally transform Ventura's agency and brand partners. I aim to maximize the investment in this powerful tool as quickly as possible. I specialize in driving growth through technology, innovation, and servant leadership. I guide cross-functional teams with a focus on service, ownership, growth, attitude, and balance. My expertise spans a broad spectrum of tech skills, from API integrations to infrastructure management (AWS, GCP), SQL, Python, HTML/CSS/JS, and Agile methodologies. I’m deeply committed to creating user-friendly, data-driven, and high-performance products that deliver real value to our clients.My leadership philosophy is rooted in trust, grit, and empathy, as I believe that the best solutions are built when teams feel supported, valued, and encouraged to rise to any challenge. I’ve led my team through high-stakes moments, including a full platform outage, rallying them with a “not today” mentality, and delivering on our promises under pressure.Outside of work, I’m passionate about mentoring and coaching, fostering a positive, growth-oriented environment. I also enjoy golfing, hiking, spending time with my dog, and finding balance and inspiration in the outdoors.
