About Matthew Gurney

I build commercial and market access analytics functions that treat data as a strategic product; not a reporting layer, but a driver of growth, access, and enterprise decision-making in life sciences.Over the course of my career, I’ve designed and implemented analytics strategies and data platforms that connect internal stakeholders (commercial, medical, access) with external customers (providers, patients, payers), translating complex needs into actionable insights- What I Do / What I’ve Built -Develop data-product roadmaps that centralize insights across payer, patient, channel, and provider dimensionsDefine and launch analytics solutions that optimize brand investment, pricing models, and access strategiesCreate operational models that scale with business growth, balancing agility and rigorLeverage advanced segmentation, predictive modeling, and real-world evidence to drive more precise commercial decisionsTranslate customer voice into data requirements, building tools and workflows that internal teams adopt and external teams trust- Leadership & Mentorship -I lead high-performing teams of analysts, cultivating a culture of curiosity, clarity, and ownership via fractional, interim, or advisory support.I mentor and grow talent; not just technically (in SQL, Python, BI tools), but strategically - how data ties to business goalsI’ve coached analysts to become trusted business partners and shaped career paths through structured feedback, training, and hands-on project leadershipI prioritize cross-functional collaboration, ensuring that insights are shared, acted on, and embedded in decision making- Impact & Results -Delivered measurable ROI by aligning data systems to commercial and access goals, highlighting new revenue levers, improving patient access, and reducing resource wasteDrove adoption of data tools by internal teams through strong stakeholder engagement and clear translation of insight into business valueScaled analytics capabilities in fast-growing environments, maintaining both speed and governance- Why It Matters to Me -I believe that when data is treated like a strategic product - designed, owned, and iterated like one - it becomes far more powerful. It’s about more than dashboards and reports; it’s about influencing strategy, improving patient outcomes, and giving teams the confidence to act.If you\'re building or transforming your commercial or access analytics function, or looking to deepen your data-driven decision-making in life sciences, I’d welcome a conversation.
