ABOUT ANDRÉA STELLA
I uncover hidden insights from the data Fortune 500 companies already have, eliminating the need for costly new research and feature development. My research ethos follows a deliberate two-phase approach that maximizes existing resources while ensuring we solve the right problems. My Approach: Design the Right Thing, Then Design Things Right As a data interpreter with 10+ years of experience, I\'ve saved companies millions in development costs by finding the answers hiding in plain sight. My process begins with deep discovery—uncovering genuine insights and defining the true problem space before developing solutions. At Henry Schein ONE, I discovered that 80% of customer hesitations about adopting a critical product feature were already addressed within the existing product—what was missing was communication, not functionality. This methodical progression ensures my work creates meaningful impact rather than just surface-level fixes. Fractional Research Partnership (10 hours/week) I help companies maximize their existing data to drive better decision-making. My approach combines:+ Investigative analysis to discover hidden patterns + Strategic insight to scope down focus areas + Clear communication that bridges the gap between what your company knows and what it does Whether collaborating with enterprise teams or nimble startups, I transform complex research data into actionable insights that drive product decisions. I\'ve set up research practices in organizations like Sony, Henry Schein One, and the largest public university system in the country (CUNY). I thrive in fractional roles where I can apply this research framework to elevate products through genuine user understanding and thoughtful solution design. If your team needs holistic research support that balances exploration and execution, I\'d love to chat!
