Over a decade of experience leading cross-functional teams across critical technology domains, including Data Platforms, Experimentation Platforms, Business Intelligence teams, and Product Information Management systems. Throughout my career, I've fostered high-performing teams to deliver impactful solutions, developing the individuals in the team and making sure teams function very well as a unit. Now, as an independent consultant, I guide organizations through the critical transition from treating data as a support function to leveraging it as a strategic product driver. My expertise includes: š¹ Building high-performing data teams that collaborate effectively with product organizations š¹ Implementing outcome-oriented measurement frameworks and product-led organizations that connect initiatives to business impact š¹ Designing decentralized data architectures that foster cross-functional team autonomy while maintaining global governance š¹ Leading robust A/B testing programs and building experimentation platforms that drive data-informed decisions (while at Oda, I spearheaded the initiative that won the 2024 Experimentation Culture Award in the organization-wide category) š¹ Transforming traditional organizations into data-driven product companies If your organization is struggling with data silos, team alignment, or maximizing the impact of your data initiatives, let's connect.
