About Richard Kennedy

Remember that guy in your Excel class that got excited when we learned about VLookups? Ya, that was me. I’m an analyst by nature and the thrill of finding those “Ah-ha!” moments in the data is one of the most rewarding parts of my work. Better yet is being able to share those insights in a compelling way that leads to change and action.I’m also a learner. Remember cracking open the AP Bio textbook as a high school sophomore and thinking it was written in Latin? Well somewhere between the first and second read-through of each chapter, Latin became English and bio became fascinating. I’ve kept a passion for learning ever since and I’m ready to learn whatever is needed for the next job or project.Finally, I’m a runner. Not enough to be a pro but enough to hear “Run Forest” on a regular basis. The focus and discipline of running have helped to fuel every other aspect of my life.My goal is to become a master data storyteller to help brands understand where they\'ve been and what the future holds.
