What I'm looking for

I seek a role that fosters innovation, values data-driven decision-making, and offers opportunities for professional growth.

I am a seasoned data executive with over a decade of experience in driving AI and analytics strategies across various sectors, including legal, energy, and engineering. As the Chief Data Officer at Berry Law Firm, I successfully built scalable ecosystems to monitor over 1,000 buildings, achieving a remarkable 35% cost reduction and an 80% improvement in decision speed. My leadership in migrating 30 million records across 77 datasets has significantly enhanced data accessibility and operational efficiency.

My career is marked by a commitment to data governance and compliance, where I established protocols that ensure the protection of personally identifiable information (PII) while aligning data innovation with business growth. I have a proven track record of deploying AI-driven analytics that improved legal case forecasting accuracy by 25%, and I am passionate about mentoring cross-functional teams to foster a data-driven culture within organizations.
