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.

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.

Pizza Hut Digital Ventures

Headed up the PHDV Data and Analytics Function for PH's Global E-commerce assets.

• Introduced a culture of data driven experimentation and CRO
• Provided accurate and timely ecom business insights for C-Suite and external stakeholders
• Managed a team of 6 talented analytics across various disciplines within E-commerce Data and Analytics
• Provided product data analysis that drive a data first approach to product management

PHDV is Pizza Hut International’s E-commerce platform.  As Global Head of Analytics I am responsible for ensuring the entire organisation is data informed and driven as we build and scale our E-commerce strategy in over 100 markets around the world. 

Originally run as an internal startup, I joined PHDV as one of the first 25 employees.

As a member of the senior leadership team I help facilitate organisation-wide goal-setting via OKRs, planning and decision making, and ensure these plans are executed on time and on budget. 

In support of this I provide accurate forecasts and target setting for the business. I keep team members and C-Suite stakeholders informed by delivering regular business performance and strategy updates. 

I lead several strategic initiatives including our Conversion Rate Optimisation and Personalisation programs. These streams of work require me to work very closely with engineering, design and product on a daily basis. 

Since starting with PHDV I have grown my analytics team from just myself to now 6 analysts across multiple timezones.

By being the central nervous system for med-tech startup Touch Surgery’s sales and account management teams, I ensured the business always had a finger on the pulse of our users. I provided actionable insights backed by robust analytics that saw the number of partner institutions grow by over 100% exceeding EOY target by 50%

• Provided app analytics of user behaviour and engagement which enabled account management teams to prioritise accounts with greater potential for future revenue

• Developed and applied engagement metrics to identify opportunities for growth among new customers as well as value add amongst our existing client base

Business Intelligence and Strategy Analyst

Bank of America Merrill Lynch

I turned ‘excel-crashing’ sized data sets into a suite of slick sales management reports ensuring managers who don’t have time to get their own coffee could pick up one of my reports and immediately understand exactly what is going on in their business. The margin for error on the trading floor is 0 and the insights and recommendations made in my reports drove the direction and outcome of multi-mullion dollar deals

• Created and implemented a Resource Efficiency Ratio that measured the value of the resources clients extracted from the bank versus how much revenue they brought through the door. These insights empowered our FX Hedge Funds business to slash costs and improve forecasts. My report was implemented globally

• I worked closely with the new head of the Rates and FX Hedge Funds businesses as the two lines were merged. I produced accurate and timely client analytics reports to ensure solid relationships were maintained with some of the world’s most established Investment Banks and Hedge Funds

Data is largely viewed as a technical challenge rather than a business one by leadership teams across industries. This causes them to be disengaged from data’s potential as an effective business driver and to focus solely on technical initiatives and solutions.

Through my data leadership coaching and group facilitation, I help data leaders and leadership teams develop robust data-centric cultures to help them increase accuracy and velocity around decision making to maximise ROI from strategic initiatives.

I combine my extensive career experience as a Global Head of Data within a Fortune 500 alongside my experience as a consultant, coach and mentor to work with leaders to develop a company wide, data-centric culture that will ensure individuals and organisations are in the right place to maximise their growth potential.

I am deeply passionate about technology and startups and have been endorsed by Tech Nation as a Global Talent in Tech. I speak frequently at tech events and have experience as a founder having started two marketplace businesses.
