Summary
Data Technology Strategist I am a seasoned data technology strategist with a proven track record of guiding enterprises, such as Gap and Li & Fung, through their digital transformation journeys. My multifaceted career has been dedicated to driving data stack modernizations, enabling insights building, enhancing data infrastructure, and developing data analytics for Fortune 500 firms. I also have significant experience working with two successful analytics startups from seed funding through IPO/acquisition. I am a visionary in data fabric solutions, enriching data integration and analytics through applied AI. My achievements include creating predictive supply chain models, developing data infrastructure and BI strategies for a global retailer, and designing an advanced customer loyalty analytics engine. My extensive organizational leadership experience includes assembling and leading hybrid US/offshore teams across Data Science, Data Analytics, Data Engineering, and Software Engineering. I have a strong international profile, having worked in the US (SF/Silicon Valley), Europe, and Asia, with training in Switzerland. I am multilingual in English, German, and Swiss. I excel in guiding companies to fully leverage the value of their data by building cloud data warehouses, data lakes, and BI platforms integrated with AI, ML, NLP, data visualization, and image recognition technologies.
