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.
