About Me

By day, I’m Director of Marketing Analytics, specializing in Advanced Analytics, at Genesys. Previously, I was Co-Founder and CTO (still Co-Founder) of Hyperthesis, a startup funded by the National Science Foundation and through which my partners and I have won grants from the NSF, INSEAD, and the AMA, as well as patents in NLP and data visualization. — BUT, in my spare time, I’m an aspiring creative who enjoys film-making, photography, and music production.

 

Let’s jam on some data, strategy, or critical creative together!

Interests / Services
Data Science / Analytics

I 'do' and manage data science and analytics, usually leveraging insights from marketing theory to inspire questions and tease out strategic + operational implications.

Marketing Strategy

I ❤️ marketing strategy, because, when done right, it's the systematically optimized product of behavioral sciences and creativity. And, btw, Waterfall > Agile (many X), with proper quant research.

Multi-Media Production

In my spare time, I enjoy photography, music production, film-making, and writing. I've even done some of this while in technical roles.
