John Linford's Linkedin Analytics

My career vision is to harmonize business storytelling and data analytics into real-world application. I am growing into a superb operator so that in the years ahead I can take businesses to the moon 🚀 I've built the experience to thrive in this unique niche 👇 👉 I read My mom used to catch me with a flashlight under the covers, reading. I'm a voracious reader (I read 100 books in 2022 AND 2023). These principles color my worldview and the recommendations I provide to clients, managers, and customers. 👉 Varied experience With multi-faceted experience in data analytics, venture capital, SaaS, consulting, ecommerce, sales, social impact, and academic research, I am an energetic leader who gets results. I've run sales offices that produced hundreds of thousands in revenue, crafted million(s) dollar stories for businesses looking to raise capital, and generated new customers/insights for businesses from the pre-seed stage on. 👉 Extensive toolkit My practiced application in data wrangling, data visualization, web scraping, and strategic analysis allow me to create actionable insights from complex data. This is built from a toolkit of programming languages, including SQL, Python, R, Linux, and SAS. I also have modeling/visualization experience in Excel (VBA, macros, etc), Tableau, Looker, and *every* presentation software (PP, Keynote, Canva, Prezi, etc). 👉 A fun personality (and a winning smile) In addition to my vocational accomplishments, I have a range of interests including: a professional corporate magician, an avid tennis and soccer player, a singer, and, most especially, a husband, married to the very best, Avanlee Linford.
