About Carl Nnaji

A US citizen that helps tech teams and founders turn raw data into actionable product strategies and scalable growth.At Google, I’ve spent the past 6 years building analytics frameworks and machine-learning models that guide product decisions at scale. I focus on building systems that help teams spot what matters early, test fast, and make smarter decisions. Before Google, I worked across finance and operations at ExxonMobil, Ernst & Young, and HP, experiences that taught me how to blend rigor with speed and make data work in the real world.Today, I’m also the co-founder of Tempo Live Events, a platform helping event promoters capture up to 80% of their ticket sales, which typically happen in the final two weeks. We\'re flipping the script on digital promotion by using real-time social content and engagement metrics to drive urgency and sales.Alongside that, I’ve consulted for small business owners in Houston, helping them secure $5M+ in funding, managed the sale of a restaurant, and built smarter, more reliable systems for operators in industries like healthcare and real estate.Whether it’s a billion-dollar product or a bootstrap startup, I build dashboards, models, and workflows that help teams turn uncertainty into opportunity.Specialties: • Product Strategy • Data Science • Startup Growth • Financial ModelingTools: • Python • SQL • Looker • QuickBooks • XeroLet’s connect!
