About Me

Who I am

I am a Data Science and Research/Insights/Analytics professional who enjoys turning complex data into smart and creative decisions that impact businesses, people, and systems. Given the values described below, I consider myself a builder and an operator (not just a data storyteller or strategist).

What I bring

I bring 9+ years of experience translating commercial, media, and consumer data into growth strategies and data products for Fortune 500 brands. I am known for productizing and converting complex data into clear, executive-level decisions. I brings a collaborative style, a builder’s mindset, and cross functional experience across marketing, finance, and product teams.

What I value

I value the rigor of research but even more, I love making that rigor accessible, actionable, and timely enough to create real change. This requires effective communication, risk assessment, critical thinking, and execution.

Experience

Marketing Science @ Foote, Cone & Belding

When I joined FCB New York (Interpublic Group) as Director of Marketing Science , the Strategic Analytics team was focused solely on supporting the FDA’s anti-vaping and anti-smoking efforts. Over the following year, I led the expansion of the team’s scope and influence, earning a promotion to Vice President and growing a dedicated analytics pod that became integral to a wide range of brand, media, and innovation work.

We evolved from a single-account support team into a strategic partner across multiple high-profile clients, including Pringles, Listerine, Aveeno, Intuit, Centrum, Marcus by Goldman Sachs, Blue Cross Blue Shield, Verizon Value Brands, Spotify B2B, Vanguard, and the Gates Foundation.

I led cross-functional data and product workstreams that elevated marketing science across the agency, from building creative attribution and influencer optimization models to pioneering GenAI pipelines for audience simulation and insight acceleration. This transformation positioned the team as a key contributor to new business, creative development, and strategic planning initiatives.

Insights & Analytics @ Reckitt (formerly Reckitt Benckiser)

As Manager of Business Insights & Analytics at Reckitt, I supported the Hygiene portfolio (Lysol, Finish, AirWick + Household brands) during a period of significant market disruption and transformation. I led initiatives that enhanced both strategic decision-making and team capability.

My work included applying Bayesian marketing mix and multi-touch attribution models to uncover promotion misalignments and targeting inefficiencies, driving stronger return on media investment across brands like Lysol, Finish, and AirWick.

To replace fragmented testing practices, I introduced a scalable experimentation toolkit leveraging in-platform and geo-based testing, which was adopted by nine brand teams and embedded into Reckitt’s product launch workflows.

I also collaborated cross-functionally to analyze pandemic-related shifts in consumer behavior and partnered with external vendors to strengthen analytical infrastructure and upskill the broader marketing team.

Product Analytics @ Essence Global (part of WPP)

At Essence I co-led the development of privacy-compliant measurement products that strengthened client confidence and protected millions in billings.

My work specialized in digital attribution, DSP algorithm optimization, and incrementality analysis (all within a rapidly evolving privacy landscape). This role combined deep technical analytics with strategic consulting for clients such as Google, NBCu, and T-Mobile.

I launched a global brand-lift program aligned with GDPR and CCPA standards, enabling insight generation in the absence of third-party tracking and powering strategic decisions for the Google Pixel brand.

I also integrated Google Ads Data Hub with internal APIs, resolving fragmented measurement workflows and enabling the launch of eight new insights features while improving operational efficiency.

Digital Business Consulting @ Accenture Song (formerly Accenture Interactive)

Accenture was the foundation of my career, where I progressed from Analyst to Consultant within Accenture Interactive (now Accenture Song) during a pivotal period of the group's evolution into a global leader in marketing and advertising services.

I gained hands-on experience across Digital Product Management, Experience Management, and Applied Intelligence, supporting Fortune 500 clients such as Johnson & Johnson, Nestlé, Hewlett-Packard, Santander, and TransCelerate BioPharma.

My work spanned both strategy and execution, including unifying UX analytics with attribution analysis to uncover performance issues for CPG and B2B clients, leading to responsive optimizations that enhanced customer satisfaction across the client’s brands. This experience equipped me with a strong foundation in integrating technology, business strategy, and analytics to deliver measurable impact.
