About Me:
I'm an ex-strategy consultant, technology enthusiast, travel photographer, and I.W. Burnham MBA Fellow at The Wharton School in Philadelphia, PA.
My career has focused on helping companies use data to drive better decision-making and business outcomes.
I'm particularly passionate about how big data and predictive analytics are being applied across a variety of industries, and the technology revolution that's coming as a result.
Experience
Strategy & Marketing
2013 - At Pressed Juicery my goal was to take the marketing department of a Top 1% Specialty Retailer and make it more data-driven while also designing a loyalty program to identify, reward, and retain its most valuable customers.
IT Strategy Consulting
2008-2012 - At Accenture I joined the globe's #1 IT Strategy Practice and provided strategic consulting services to Fortune 500 companies, NGOs, and governments. There I helped dozens of Fortune 100 clients better manage their data and technology portfolios, support IT investment decisions with detailed business cases, fine-tune their technology acquisition strategies, handle post-merger integration, and reorganize IT organizations spanning over 100 countries.
Markets & Banking
2007 - At Citi I structured partial-credit guarantee facilities, agency-supported lines of credit, and infrastructure financing arrangements for clients in the US, Brazil, Latin America, Pakistan, Japan, Lebanon and more. I also helped critique the US Dept. of Energy's renewable energy project financing program.
Risk Management
2006 - At BBVA I discovered how large financial institutions manage capital requirements to account for every risk, from vandalism to economic collapse. I also learned Value-at-Risk (VaR) analysis and helped the bank transition to the new Basel II regulatory risk framework.
