Personal Sabbatical

In pursuit of a personal goal, I spent time with my wife experiencing cultures and lifestyles outside of the United States.  After touring 28 countries across Europe, Asia, and Oceania, we gained new perspectives on how closely connected the global community is and redefined priorities in living a fulfilling life.  

I maintained a travel blog to capture our thoughts while traveling.  I also consulted with data analytics for U.S. clients during my travels.

Delivering unfair data advantages for the mid-market with ‘Data Analytics as a Service’– trusted insights, automation, and ongoing support that grows with you

Organizations are drowning in data but struggle to take advantage of actionable insights and prescriptive decisions.  

Companies instead have internal staff spend untold hours manually copying data across spreadsheets, shared drives, and email inboxes.  Any attempt to create insights with untrusted data is seen as a burden and a waste of time.

But if you don’t harness the power of data in your digital transformation, 𝒚𝒐𝒖𝒓 𝒄𝒐𝒎𝒑𝒆𝒕𝒊𝒕𝒊𝒐𝒏 𝒘𝒊𝒍𝒍.  

In 2022, 87% of surveyed executives stated that ‘data-driven decision-making’ is one of their extremely or somewhat important organizational priorities to thrive in 2023.

"With DataDrive, we've been able to provide our customers with custom data-driven dashboards to monitor the success of their campaigns in a way we had been trying to unlock for years."
- Ashley Steckler, Lawyerist

”Analytics allows us to take action and ask 'why' vs. doing the same things we've always done - just because we think it works. The DataDrive team provides that clarity for us."
- Reed Daniels, Red’s Savoy Pizza

“We factually prove to our own clients that we deliver results and achieve ROI on pricing and revenue management engagements with DataDrive's help."
- Brad Beakley, Hospitio

Business leaders want their organizations to be more data-driven.

However, investing in data talent and technology is cost-prohibitive.  Having your team actually access, interpret, and act on data-driven insights requires continued care and attention.

Building a data capability is a long, expensive, and risky initiative. 

𝐇𝐎𝐖 𝐃𝐎 𝐈 𝐊𝐍𝐎𝐖 𝐓𝐇𝐈𝐒

With over a decade of analytics consulting, I've implemented and trained users on the modern data stack for over 150 organizations.

I've seen the pitfalls, struggles, and poor investments. But there is an easier way.

DataDrive delivers data capabilities to scale with fast-growing organizations - without the hassle of hiring a team, managing infrastructure, and negotiating with 10+ software vendors.  

And it's cheaper than a data engineer's salary!

Founder & CEO at Delivery Layer | ex Nielsen P&L owner | ex unicorn SaaS VP of Data | Host of the Data That Drives Revenue Podcast

I'm a long-time data leader, currently leading ReportingApplications.com, a consulting company focused on building - you guessed it - Reporting Applications.

Why Reporting Applications?

Because they’re tricky to build in ways that most companies don’t realize until they are live with customers and dealing with unexpected business problems.

We believe there’s an art to building great reporting applications, but not many people have focused on this area deeply enough to become experts.

By working with us you can benefit from our many years of lessons learned.

---

Prior to starting ReportingApplications.com I was the founder of Delivery Layer - a SaaS product that powered customer facing reporting applications.

Before that I was VP of Data Strategy at Helium 10 where I led all things data (Data Engineering, Data Science, Data Product Development and Analytics). I previously ran product & analytics with P&L responsibility for Nielsen Sports, the global leader in Sports Sponsorship data.
  
Early in my career I ended up with the mix of statistical, business analysis and programming skills that would turn into the ideal background for a data scientist. Since then, I've been leading data teams, building data products and running data businesses.

My philosophy is that data isn't the hero - it's the sidekick. It's only valuable if it improves the lives of your customers, or helps someone make better decisions.

Get in touch if you need to build a reporting application!

And connect and follow along for lots of content around data leadership, becoming a better data person, and (of course) Reporting Applications.

Founder & CEO

Delivery Layer is a platform that powers revenue generating data through web applications and APIs that deliver your internal data to customers and partners.  
  
We dramatically improve time to market for data products. Enterprise scale products can launch in under a quarter, and consulting project front-ends can ship in days.  

This is only possible because we focus exclusively on applications that deliver your internal data to customers (as opposed to when customers send data into your systems).
  
Our pre-built infrastructure and unique battle-tested experience allows us to move at blazing speeds.

At a conference this morning, I gave an AI agent company my name, LinkedIn profile & phone number so it could create an AI version of me that I could chat with over text. So far "AI Solomon" has texted me nine times about meeting up at the happy hour later this afternoon 🤣🤣🤣

Didn't even try chatting me up first about reporting applications. Had to block the little dude...

Sneak peek into the future of runaway AI agents stuck in a loop!!!

Data Leader | Founder @ Reporting Applications | ex Nielsen P&L owner | ex unicorn SaaS VP of Data | Podcast Host

I'm absolutely certain that chat will be the data interface for business users in an AI world, because chatting "can you just pull some numbers real quick" HAS ALWAYS BEEN THE INTERFACE for how business users get data!!!

If you or someone you love need to build a reporting application next year, wanted to put ReportingApplications[.]com on your radar. That's literally all we do - we're a small consulting company that builds reporting applications (internal, custom and embedded).

That's it - not every LinkedIn post needs a hero's journey :)

Tomorrow, we'll be chatting with Solomon Kahn on all things analytics leadership, delivering value, and building things!
