Impakt beat out a record number of applicants to win the "Super Bowl of Analytics" - taking home the top prize in the startup competition at the prestigious MIT Sloan Sports Analytics Conference. We've built football's first digital assistant - which solves the biggest problem in sports analytics - turning insight into action.As founder and CEO, I define the strategy and product roadmap - then work with our team to bring it to life.

I drive our strategic planning process, own the industry and competitive intelligence program, and lead various high priority and complex projects throughout the year.I've been recognized for my work - including promotions, top rankings, and awards - and been asked to consult with other teams trying to achieve similar success in strategy.

As a Sr. Strategy Manager for New Business, I developed the prioritization methodology for the Innovation funnel and the strategic approach to high potential initiatives. I defined and measured success criteria at different checkpoints and then oversaw a team that would execute the experiments. I was the only Sr. Manager to lead multiple experiments, led the highest performing experiment in the portfolio, and led the experimentation plan for the company's #1 priority - the Connected Store.I progressed quickly at Best Buy - being promoted and adding additional responsibilities several times during my career. I began as a Sr. Financial Analyst for Innovation - but then added all decision support functions for the Southeast US. A few months, my role was expanded to include the entire East half of the United States (still owning Innovation for the enterprise). Shortly thereafter, I was promoted to a Sr. Manager of Strategy for Innovation. Finally, I was also asked to oversee execution in addition to my strategy responsibilities.My work was often recognized during my time at Best Buy - including adopting my measurement and experimentation approach as Standard Operating Procedure, winning two Chairman's Innovation Awards (then being asked to judge the event), top rankings, and the several promotions mentioned above.

As a graduate assistant, I helped career services bring companies to campus, create interest in company presentations amongst students, and handled logistics for most of the company events.I also tutored for Corporate Finance and Managerial Finance courses at the University of Iowa and University of Chicago.

As an Senior Financial Analyst Intern, I helped leaders make sense of the drivers of retail performance and proposed actions to improve performance.

As an Assistant Branch Manager, I was responsible for driving initiatives within the branch as well as my own sales targets. I led the plastics program, developed new team members, and managed the logistics and day to day activities of the office.During my time, I led the turnaround of the plastics program from worst to first at two different branches. Both of the team members I developed went on to become managers. I led the district (approximately 60 employees) in 9 of 13 tracked sales categories - and was selected to be 1 of 25 from around the country to create a National Sales Training program.

As a Supplemental Finance Instructor, I taught students a junior level course while I was a junior myself. Students would attend lectures with the professor, then attend optional discussion groups with me to further dig into content. I would create my own lectures, discussion guides, and student materials.During my semester teaching, attendance increased from approximately 20 students to 130 students at the end of the semester.

As a Special Projects Intern, I completed and assisted with several priority projects - including analyzing several variables impact on store demand for better forecasting and analyzing spoilage tendencies and costs on overall product line profitability. I also filled in for various departments while workers were out on vacation - learning several areas of the business.
