Analytics, data science, business intelligence, and data engineering leader with deep, broad experience spanning technology, media, commerce, travel, and payments. Over my extensive global career, I’ve built and led high-performing teams at companies like Visa, YouTube, and Airbnb—transforming legacy analytics functions into strategic, scalable engines of commercial decision-making.

Whether it’s optimizing revenue through advanced attribution, causality, and incrementality analyses, or supporting global product launches and regional market pilots, I’m committed to balancing rapid execution with long-term strategic investments. I thrive in dynamic, cross-functional environments where innovative ideas meet bold, ambitious goals. I believe in forging direct, transparent relationships across teams—ensuring that analytics isn’t just a support function, but a critical partner in shaping business strategy. With a proven track record of driving transformation—from reimagining back-office operations at Visa to scaling commercial analytics teams at YouTube and Airbnb—I am continually seeking ways to leverage data as a catalyst for growth.
