ABOUT TODD BENANZER

I am an optimization and predictive analytics executive specializing in rapid analytics ideation and implementation. As a player & coach in machine learning, modeling strategy, compliance approval, and implementation, I have made and saved companies millions of dollars in the marketing, pricing, manufacturing, supply chain, and logistics verticals. I lead with a strong collaborative and coaching style. I am outgoing and practical, and I love using statistical modeling and mathematical optimization to solve complex and difficult business problems that result in process improvement, massive ROI, more effective product marketing, and a leaner, more profitable business. I love the entire job of defining the problem, outlining the approach, building the team, delivering the results, and improving the business process. Projects are about results, but my joy comes from the process.I’m currently working with our departments across the bank to build predictive models that grow revenue through marketing, pricing, operations, and retail distribution.Analytics is a team sport, and I build high-caliber, high-energy teams by selling my vision, then maintaining tangible progress. My pursuit of a solution is relentless, and I expect the same effort and focus from my team. I am also a serial learner. If there\'s a better way from A to B, I\'ll research, learn, and implement it. I have bachelor’s and master’s degrees in mechanical engineering and a PhD in engineering, computational design, and optimization.Specialties: data science, data-mining, machine learning, optimization, project and program execution
