At NielsenIQ, I led customer research, segmentation, value proposition development, and go-to-market strategy for a major bank’s youth banking app. I aligned an eight-person cross-functional team on positioning and launch priorities, contributing to 20K sign-ups.

At C.H. Robinson, I developed an AI-powered competitive intelligence framework and built a business case for a B2B growth segment. The analysis identified a $120M+ potential Adjusted Gross Profit opportunity and informed commercial priorities.

At Four Corners Group, I led consumer research that informed brand repositioning and market strategy, and mapped journeys to address first-time user drop-off. I’ve also developed AI evaluation tasks for advertising and brand strategy at Wirestock.
