I’m a data leader who’s been wrangling the data puzzle for over 35 years - & I still haven’t lost a piece. I help organizations get ahead of the chaos by defining & optimizing processes, governance, quality, & intelligence - solving those frustrating “why doesn’t this report make sense?” moments before they happen.​​

With decades of deep practitioner know-how, I craft secure strategic roadmaps that tackle global companies’ most complex challenges in analytics, data, data science, marketing, AI, & ML - without the buzzword bingo.​​

I also advise senior leaders on how to squeeze more value from the tech they already own (yes, even that clunky system no one wants to touch), helping them make confident, data-driven decisions while saving time, money, & a few headaches on support & maintenance.​

I’ve worn many corporate hats - CDO of a data strategy firm, COO of a real estate development company, CEO/CMO of a national marketing agency, CFO of a regional construction firm, IT Manager for a national risk management company, & Customer Service Manager for an international software company.

So whether it’s data, dollars, dirt, or delivery, I’ve been there.

I'm fluent in data delivery via SQL server tables, stored procedures, views, SSIS packages, SSAS tabular models, Oracle Toad, & SAP Universes. My specialties for BI delivery are SSRS, Power BI, Tableau, SAP Business Objects & Crystal Reports.
