When you realize the Gartner Data & Analytics Summit 2026 is coming up…

… it is hard not to get excited.

This year’s theme is Value at AI Velocity, and it hits a real tension many teams are feeling:
✅ Deliver value fast
✅ Govern responsibly
✅ Build for what comes next

The agenda brings together practical guidance, trusted research, and peer conversations that go beyond hype and into execution.

As an official sponsor of the Gartner Data & Analytics Summit, I invite you to take a look at the agenda and see if it is a fit for you or your team:

I’m a data and analytics leader who believes insight only matters when it leads to clarity, better decisions, and real-world impact.

For more than 18 years, I’ve worked across fintech, financial services, auto finance, pharmaceuticals, advertising, business services, and technology, partnering with leaders to turn complex data into actionable insights. My work spans credit risk management, forecasting, marketing analytics, executive reporting, and governance, with a consistent focus on transparency, accuracy, and decision support.

What sets me apart is both range and depth. I’ve led credit loss forecasting and CCAR/CECL governance for large consumer portfolios, built and automated executive dashboards and reporting platforms, designed segmentation and marketing analytics strategies, and partnered with data science teams to operationalize advanced analytics and machine-learning models. I’m especially known for translating technical analysis into clear stories that resonate with executives and non-technical stakeholders.

𝗖𝗼𝗿𝗲 𝗮𝗿𝗲𝗮𝘀 𝗼𝗳 𝗲𝘅𝗽𝗲𝗿𝘁𝗶𝘀𝗲:

• Analytics strategy, decision support, and business impact
• Data storytelling, executive reporting, and KPI development
• Marketing analytics, segmentation, and growth strategy
• SQL, SAS, Tableau, Excel, and analytics automation
• Cross-functional partnership in regulated, high-stakes environments

I’m comfortable leading initiatives and staying hands-on—writing SQL, working in SAS or Tableau, validating assumptions, refining dashboards, and pressure-testing results before they reach senior leadership.

More recently, I’ve become increasingly drawn to work that emphasizes purpose, stewardship, and long-term value. I’m interested in organizations—corporate or nonprofit—that use data not just to optimize performance, but to serve people, strengthen trust, and create meaningful, measurable impact.

If you’re looking for someone who brings analytical rigor, executive-level communication, and a principled approach to data, I’d welcome the conversation.
