About Max Haubold

I’m a senior leader in planning, economics, and analytics, focused on building decision systems that turn complex, ambiguous data into clear executive action.Over the past several years, I’ve led org-scale science and analytics teams responsible for planning, forecasting, and optimization across $33B+ in annual P&L, delivering $3B+ in cumulative cost and capital savings. My work sits at the intersection of economics, data science, and product, partnering directly with VP- and C-suite leaders to shape long-term strategy, investment trade-offs, and operating models.I specialize in decision system design, large-scale forecasting, causal inference, optimization, and applied machine learning, particularly in environments where intuition breaks down and trade-offs between cost, growth, customer experience, and sustainability must be made explicit.
