Professor | Speaker & Practice Leader | Data Analytics Consultant | Passionate about transforming organizations through data-driven solutions

I am a university Professor, Speaker, and Data Science & Technology Consultant with over 15 years of experience in data analytics, business intelligence, and technology solutions development. I have a true passion for helping businesses and organizations augment their analytic and technical acumen to allow them to enhance their decision-making process through data-driven insights. 

My current focus is in education & talent development, and I am proud to be a university professor at one of the top global Universities. I believe that education is the key to success and it is my mission to help as many organizations as possible reach their full potential through Advanced Analytics, Machine Learning and technical Automation.

Data is the lifeblood of any business, coursing through the veins of all organizations. When leveraged effectively, it helps you optimize processes, predict customer demand, mitigate various financial risks, and make a myriad of better decisions. And yet I noticed that too often, businesses don't take full advantage of their data. They let it accumulate in silos, or don’t realize what answers to critical pain points it may uncover.

That's where data-driven solutions come in. I strongly believe that by harnessing the power of data, you can transform your business in a number of ways:
- Improve your overall customer/employee experience: Use data to understand what your internal & external stakeholders want and need, to give them a better experience overall.
- Drive growth: Use data to identify new opportunities for growth and expansion.
- Make optimal decisions: Use data to make informed decisions about everything from product development to talent retention strategy.
- Save & reutilize resources: Use analytics to optimize your operations and cut costs where possible.

I am also a big believer in a collaborative approach to problem solving.  Organizations should leverage the collective knowledge of Subject Matter Experts, Technologists and Quantitative Approaches to yield the best results (from inside and outside). 

I am always looking to learn new things and I am always open to new ideas, sharing best practices and being a firm believer in the power of analysis through data and its ability to transform organizations for the better.

If you are looking for someone who can help you turn data into insights and make better decisions for your business or organization, or if you just want to share some new ideas, please feel free to contact me. I would be more than happy to chat and see how we can collaborate.
