Background

Functional Organization(s) Description
Custom Research & Analytics A significant amount of my custom research and analytics experience came from GfK - a global leader in the research industry - and a small startup called Interscope LLC that was acquired by GfK. I've also acquired experience through continuing professional and graduate education programs.
Syndicated Research & Analytics Earlier in my career I spent several years working for IRI, now Circana. I have a great deal of comfort with retail POS and panel data and have since leveraged these data frameworks in more advanced modeling applications.
Marketing/Brand Management Marketing and brand management roles included time with Georgia-Pacific and Ball Corporation. It has been time well spent, providing me with a clear and whole perspective over the entire marketing planning process.
Education Recent graduate-level training in data-science, computational statistics, and modeling has come from Georgia-Tech. My undergraduate/MBA degrees are from Lehigh University.
