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 I serve as an advisor to executives both clients and internally on topics related to data discovery, availability, and trust. I function 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.
