One of the greatest competitive differentiators any company can have is access to actionable \"data you can trust\" in an actionable time frame. The major obstacles to achieving this often include knowing which data points are important, collecting and merging data from a wide variety of sources, the cost to store and maintain all of this data, and then being able to present it to decision makers in an easy to consume and interactive manner.My goals are to work with internal organizations to understand their core business processes, what data is available surrounding those processes, what the minimum components are to make improvements, and then how to store, analyze and deliver this information for \"data driven\" decision support.Specialties: Program ManagementAnalytics and Data Services
