Senior data & analytics leader building ML, BI, and attribution systems at scale.
What I'm looking for
I’m a Senior Data & Analytics Leader with 15+ years of hands-on experience building data infrastructure, ML models, and BI systems at scale. I spent 12 years at Interactive Brokers, where I set up the data analytics function from scratch and helped support growth from 300,000 to 5 million global accounts.
I’ve optimised marketing and customer performance using AI-enabled attribution models across Google, Facebook, and email, including saving $100K in a campaign via IP location fraud detection. I build production-ready analytics ecosystems—marketing attribution, customer segmentation, and pipeline infrastructure—so teams can make faster, better decisions.
I also focus on ML/GenAI-driven productivity and governance: deploying deep learning models for targeting, integrating Tableau with Excel into shareable dashboards, and using Claude AI for workflow automation (10x productivity). I mentor analysts to become fully capable in Python, R, SQL performance tuning, Tableau, and Linux shell scripting, while partnering with product and C-suite on analytics roadmaps and KPI frameworks.
