Practice Director & Management Consultant at C-SUITE DATA
I'm a management consultant with a data emphasis helping Fortune 100/1000 companies strategically evolve and reinvent their businesses to maximize their revenue growth. Through realignment, to overhauls, to rebuilding things from the top down and ground up, I integrate and solidify leaders, strategies, and solutions into all aspects of the organization. Strategies and solutions include data, business intelligence, Big Data, competitive intelligence, chief data officers, and data offices. From business planning, to business development, execution, talent pools, and the nuts and bolts, my industry expertise spans financial, insurance, higher-ed, healthcare, and government. With a personal passion for artificial intelligence I do deep research on its effective use in human capital development, business performance, and education. I am a coach, trainer, and the voice for how data is the new capital that drives, multiplies, and maximizes revenue growth.
My accomplishments:
1. Data-driven product innovations for financial, agriculture, robotics, biometric security, and supermarket pay-at-the-pump. Clients’ revenue growth ranged from 13% to 28%.
2. Aligned, reinvented, and restructured the business model for seven Fortune 100 companies by leveraging data and incorporated forecasting and predictive models. Clients’ revenue growth ranged from 5% to 32%. Clients’ investment cost reductions ranged from 11% to 40%. Clients’ productivity increases ranged from 17% to 25%. Projects ranged from $5 to $200 mil with programs ranging from $250 mil to $3 bil.
3. Set up 13 new competency centers, offices, and training programs for Fortune companies for Data, Business Architecture, Project Management (plus Agile), Business Intelligence, and Business Development.
