About Steven Lombardi

I am an accomplished Big 4 Accounting-trained professional who rose through the financial ranks and, inspired by the transformative power of information, pivoted to data intelligence. My key talent is extracting essential and often obscure insights from data and turning them into recommendations that are acted on and yield substantive results. I am eager for knowledge, committed to getting things right and always open to new ideas and approaches to problem solving. I seek out opportunities to answer the big questions of an organization and believe that even a small amount of data could have great power if you can extract the key insight it holds. My management style is \'people-first\'; I cherish the colleagues and team members. Although addressing short-term needs is critical, I believe it is equally as important to consider long-term impact and value while doing so. I bring these skills to the organization: Business Analytics - leading teams that build business intelligence platforms and drive analytics Team Leadership - building high-performance teams, setting big goals, giving clear direction and providing the tools, resources & support for all to contribute successfully Business Collaboration - seamlessly & purposefully connecting & engaging across organizational functions (including marketing, client services, distribution, legal & operations) to solve complex business problems Financial Experience & Expertise - reporting, analysis, pricing, modeling and actionable recommendations Talent Management - attracting, nurturing and retaining good & diverse talent; Providing clear direction and tireless support, encouragement and advocacy Communications - thoughtful, clear & frequent Technical - skilled at Analytics in Tableau, SAS, Excel, & Alteryx; a quick study
