About Lauren Acree Dishong
I\'m a data product and engineering leader with 12+ years building the platforms, operating models, and teams that make data-driven decisions real — not theoretical.My career has a pattern: I arrive at complexity, create structure, and leave behind durable systems that outlast any single person. At Converse, that meant defining enterprise data strategy from scratch, deploying a self-service analytics platform adopted by 65% of users within six months, and restructuring the technology org to save $2M+ annually — all while leading a global team of 20+ across product management, engineering, and delivery.I treat data the way a product manager treats a product: with ownership, roadmaps, contracts, user research, and measurable adoption. I\'m as comfortable presenting to a CIO as I am reviewing a data model with an engineer. That balance — enterprise thinking with hands-on instinct — is what makes the strategy credible and the execution real.Currently at Nike as a BI Product Manager, building semantic layers and shipping agentic AI/LLM-based automation into product creation workflows.My leadership style is grounded in clarity, accountability, and inclusion. I build environments where people do their best work — and the peer recognition and awards confirm it.Open to: Director of Data Product, Head of Analytics, Principal Product Manager (Data), VP Data & Analytics — ideally in consumer retail, athletic and outdoor brands, or DTC ecommerce.
