About Kendra L.

I build and scale location intelligence and data platforms, taking products from early concept to enterprise scale and supporting businesses used by millions of customers.I’m a product and technology leader with deep experience building zero-to-one platforms and scaling them inside complex enterprise environments. At T-Mobile, I helped architect and scale the Home Internet platform from the ground up, delivering foundational eligibility APIs, map-based applications, and governed analytics that support millions of customers and meaningful revenue impact. My work sits at the intersection of product strategy, data platforms, geospatial analytics, and execution.What sets me apart is how I lead through ambiguity. I’ve built SDK-based APIs, location intelligence systems, and data products that enable growth, monetization, and better customer experiences—while balancing regulatory, operational, and technical constraints. I’ve led large, cross-functional teams across product, engineering, data, and analytics, and I care deeply about building organizations that can move fast without breaking trust, quality, or scale.My background spans location intelligence, geospatial analytics, product analytics, and enterprise data platforms. I’ve overseen dimensional and semantic data models, governed BI environments, and analytics infrastructure used across organizations. I’ve partnered closely with product, network, finance, and executive teams to translate complex data into clear decisions and durable platforms.Before entering the private sector, I served as an Intelligence Analyst in the U.S. Air Force, where I learned how to operate under pressure, lead with clarity, and make decisions when the data isn’t perfect. That experience still shapes how I show up—as a calm, accountable leader who values precision, teamwork, and follow-through.I’m most energized by roles where I can:• Build and scale product and data platforms• Lead maps, geospatial, and analytics initiatives• Turn complex data into real-world impact• Grow strong, capable teams that deliver consistentlyIf you’re building products at the intersection of data, analytics, and location, I’m always open to thoughtful conversations.
