What I'm looking for
I am an influential data science and AI leader who translates complex business problems into AI-enabled solutions that deliver measurable ROI, operational efficiency, and competitive advantage. I have led enterprise AI strategy, shaped operating models, and advised C-suite stakeholders across Fortune 500 and global organizations.
As a manager and product-minded data science lead, I build and mentor high-performing, cross-functional teams, manage multi-site resources, and drive delivery of data science products and dashboards using tools like Python, SQL, Tableau, Power BI, Databricks, and Looker. My engagements commonly deliver 10–20% operating improvements and have supported portfolios and GTM efforts worth millions.
I focus on responsible AI adoption, change management, and enabling organizational readiness through training, KPI design, and standardized delivery practices. I prioritize clear stakeholder alignment, measurable outcomes, and sustainable transformation that ties analytics to business value.
