About

I started my career as a data scientist, eventually reaching the CTO level. The second half of my career I spent in management consulting, working with clients around the world on all topics of data. I have also authored O’Reilly’s "Python and R for the Modern Data Scientist" and the "Elements of Data Strategy" and have published research on explainable AI.

I look forward to mentoring people who want to move to data strategy and management of data and technical teams. My mentorship style is informal, and I want to provide as many frameworks, tools, and knowledge as possible.

To get started, just contact me with your main goals. I’m looking forward to helping you on your journey!
