About

I help brands grow, learn, and innovate by turning data into insight, ideas into hypotheses, hypotheses into experiments, and experiments into scalable impact. I build and scale experimentation and personalization programs that deliver measurable gains in conversion, retention, and customer lifetime value. Over the past decade, I’ve helped global brands move beyond one-off tests to create systems that continuously improve performance and customer experience — connecting strategy, analytics, and design into a culture of learning. That work has included scaling experimentation velocity by 80%+, improving test win rates by 20%+, and driving over $100 million in incremental revenue for enterprise brands. At Concord, I lead the Analysis & Experimentation practice, helping enterprises increase revenue, improve efficiency, and better understand their customers through smarter testing frameworks, personalization at scale, and AI-powered experiences. If you’re exploring how to: • Accelerate experimentation maturity • Scale personalization beyond “pilot” stage • Connect AI and analytics to real business outcomes …I’d love to connect. Whether you’re building internal capabilities or looking for a partner to accelerate them, I’m always interested in hearing how others are applying these tools — what’s working, where challenges lie, and where you want to go next.
