I am the Principal for Enterprise Data Strategy at Perficient. I focus on the intersection of strategy, data and technology, and business outcomes that drive growth. I've has spent his career in consulting, taking advantage of opportunities to expand and grow. I started in Enterprise Document Management and Business Automation working with clients to modernize platforms and take advantage of the data trapped in their warehouses of virtual paper. I jumped at the opportunity to lead some early exploration of Big Data technologies with hybrid cloud architectures (Hadoop + AWS) and eventually found myself leading a segment of that practice at Perficient. I have since transitioned to lead Perficient’s Data Strategy capability across geographies and practices. In this capacity he serves as an advisor to executives both clients and internally on topics related to data discovery, availability, and trust. He serves as the editor-in-chief of thought leadership aligned to the firm’s Data + Intelligence pillar. I graduated from Vanderbilt in 2011 and hold a Bachelor of Engineering in Biomedical and Electrical Engineering with a minor in Engineering Management. Originally from Cleveland, Ohio, I've lived in Cambridge, Massachusetts for the last 14 years.
