Turning data and systems into decisions, and decisions into profit.

I help organizations improve bottom-line performance by aligning data, systems, and decision-making with emerging behavioral trends that drive our industry. My focus is on cutting through noise, designing practical tools leaders will use, and turning insight into action — not theoretical models that look good but don’t change outcomes.

Analysis, data, and systems only matter if they lead to clear decisions.

Guiding Principles

If analysis doesn’t lead to a clear decision, it isn’t finished.

A simple tool that gets used beats a sophisticated one that doesn’t.

Analysis, data, and systems only matter if they lead to clear decisions. I design work around who needs to decide, what information they actually need, and how often those decisions are made. If something doesn’t change a real choice or action, it isn’t finished.

The best solution is the one people actually use. I prioritize clarity, simplicity, and speed over complexity or theoretical perfection. A straightforward tool that fits into day-to-day work will always outperform a sophisticated system that gets ignored.

Systems fail when they ignore incentives, time, and real behavior.

Organizations don’t fail because people don’t care — they fail because systems ignore time, incentives, and real behavior. I design data and processes that account for how teams actually operate, so good decisions are easier to make even under pressure.

Strategy only matters if it shows up in financial performance.

Profitability is the scoreboard. Strategy is only valuable if it shows up in financial results. I focus on the drivers that materially affect margins, cash flow, and long-term performance, and I’m explicit about tradeoffs. Clarity around what matters most is how results improve.
