WORK HISTORY
Director of Research & Insights @Frankel
ME, US
Research isn\'t just about data—it\'s about unlocking the strategic narratives that drive growth.As Director of Research & Insights at Frankel, I build and lead research practices that transform how organizations understand their markets, engage their audiences, and make high-stakes decisions. I specialize in translating complex data ecosystems into actionable strategies for executive leaders—from university presidents and provosts to CEOs in financial services, healthcare, and beyond.What I Do:I architect research functions from the ground up: developing methodologies, selecting best-in-class tools, mentoring high-performing teams, and creating service lines that drive both client impact and profitable growth. My approach combines rigorous qualitative and quantitative research with strategic storytelling—ensuring insights don\'t just inform decisions, they inspire action.Why It Matters:Over two decades, I\'ve learned that the most valuable research doesn\'t just answer questions—it reveals opportunities others miss. Whether I\'m conducting competitive market analysis, building enrollment forecasting models, or designing student success interventions, I focus on one thing: creating measurable outcomes for the institutions and organizations I serve.Let\'s Connect:Whether you\'re looking to build a research practice, need strategic insights for executive decision-making, or want to explore how data can transform your organization\'s story—I\'d love to collaborate.
