About Kean McDonald

I am a management consultant with a focus on analytics. Basically, I\'m a problem solver, and I use data and analytics as the tools to solve problems. In my career, I have been a go-to resource for management, sales reps, relationship managers and other client facing employees to provide advanced analytics and tools aimed at driving top line revenue growth. Many of the tools I provide are custom software products, built on various platforms and driven by advanced analytics, where I serve as the de facto product manager. These tools help sellers identify uncovered opportunities, help management optimize their sales force, help reduce costs by automating sales support processes and a host of other uses. In the big picture, I\'m passionate about solving problems. It\'s what gets me excited about the work I do and what gives me fulfillment when I see results. My skill set translates well to supporting a broad range of business needs and objectives and is applicable to nearly all types of companies, from financials services to high tech to luxury retail. I strive to find situations where I can continue to apply the skills I\'ve developed plus create new ones using data and analytics to deliver measurable results and support the achievement of clear business objectives.
