Senior analytics leader building enterprise AI and ML platforms.

Senior Analytics Manager at Caterpillar.

About

I have 12 years of experience building enterprise AI and ML platforms. For seven of those years I have led global data science and engineering teams, three of them as a leader of leaders.

My work sits where analytics meets big operational decisions: what a company buys, which suppliers might fail, and how to plan for parts years ahead.

Experience

  1. Senior Analytics Manager, Caterpillar

    June 2021 to present. Irving, TX. Fortune 50 manufacturer, $64B revenue.

    I lead a global analytics team of 14: two analytics managers, a project manager, six data scientists and five data analysts. I own strategy and execution for enterprise AI in procurement, cost and risk analytics, and I recruit, mentor and develop the team through the full lifecycle of each ML product.

    I was asked to advance analytics capabilities in India and built that organization from the ground up. I also mentor a class of 12 in AI at Purdue University through the Data Mine program, a partnership to develop future talent.

  2. Lead Data Science Consultant, Tredence

    July 2017 to June 2021. San Jose, CA. Analytics services firm.

    I led projects at Fortune 500 companies as a data science and engineering consultant. I led a team of 21 data scientists, engineers and developers on eCompass, a supply chain ML platform that predicts sales and optimizes supply chains, and reduced out-of-stock incidents by 6%.

    I also designed an omni-channel data science as a service platform for personalized content, with automated A/B testing, customer segmentation and natural language generation. It cut the timeline for a new marketing campaign from 120 days to under 30 and improved click rates by 30%.

  3. Data Scientist, Fuzzy Logix

    July 2014 to June 2017. Charlotte, NC. In-database analytics for finance.

    I led five data scientists building DBLytix, an in-database analytics library, from algorithm development through packaging, testing, documentation and deployment. Multiple general availability releases on Teradata, Netezza and Aster generated more than $2M in revenue.
