About Jilber Najem

The ultimate purpose of life, mind, & human striving is to deploy energy & information to fight back the tide of entropy & carve out refuges of beneficial order.” ~ Steven PinkerI enjoy partnering with others & using analytical thinking to break down patterns & drive decisions. For over 14 years, I have helped teams in the tech/media space get clear on product-market fit, covering SaaS, eCommerce, gaming, & mobile apps, building a unique combination of business acumen, product sense, & a growing data analytics skillset to bring light to big problems. This includes product strategy at Meta, strategy/business development at Sony PlayStation, equity research for video game/telco industries, & most recently BI/Product Analytics at Rocket Lawyer. My approach typically involves early, open dialogue & reframing problems as needed to balance between higher signal:noise & faster time-to-insight.I seek opportunities to work on interesting problems while expanding my analytics skillset. My continuous goal is to cover the full stack of analytics approaches, from specs, pipelines, to causal inference, reporting, & ultimately influencing stakeholders.Specialties: Data Analysis (SQL, Excel, Tableau, Python, Hive, Snowflake, Airflow), Business Case Development, Market Research, Financial Modeling, Github, Kanban/JIRA, Strategy & Business Models across Technology, Media, & Entertainment sectorsI also enjoy reading about Economics, Tech/Media, Philosophy, & Buddhism (follow at https://bsky.app/profile/jnajem.bsky.social).
