about:
As a Senior Data Scientist with experience primarily across gaming and entertainment, I specialize in leveraging data-driven insights to solve complex business challenges and drive measurable impact. With a strong background in data orchestration, machine learning, and data visualization, I've managed end-to-end data pipelines, developed predictive models, and created actionable business intelligence solutions.

In my most recent role at Global Worldwide, I led the design and implementation of a recommendation system that boosted customer conversion by 30% and revenue by 15%. I have a proven track record of collaborating with cross-functional teams, from product and engineering to executives, to define data-driven strategies that enhance decision-making and drive business success. Notably, my work in improving data warehousing processes resulted in a 30% cost reduction, while my development of self-service BI tools empowered teams to gain deeper insights independently.

Prior to this, I helped Tenacious Entertainment optimize their data infrastructure and develop dashboards that informed strategic business decisions. My passion for combining technical expertise with business acumen has enabled me to deliver high-impact results, including increasing player retention by 130% through targeted AB testing.

I hold a Master’s in Physical Chemistry from the University of Washington, where I honed my analytical skills. Outside of work, I enjoy running, reading, and spending time with my dog, Benny.

I’m always excited to connect with others in the data science community and explore new opportunities to create value through data.

about:
Aider les organisations à comprendre et anticiper les enjeux de demain avant qu'elles ne soient évidentes.

Pendant plus de 8 ans, mon terrain de jeu favori a été la gouvernance agile, les transformations à l'échelle, des équipes qu'il faut embarquer, des managers qu'il faut aider à faire évoluer de posture et des organisation qui cherchent à devenir plus rapides, plus apprenantes et plus alignées. Aujourd'hui je capitalise cette expérience pour accompagner la transformation IA des organisations notamment sur deux domaines complémentaires : la stratégie des organisations et le déploiement à l'échelle.

Mon approche consiste à associer les réflexes de l'agilité (expérimentation, boucles courtes, focus utilisateur) avec les enjeux propres à la transformation IA (AI literacy, agentique, prompt engineering) pour faire évoluer durablement les pratiques.

Concrètement j'accompagne les organisations sur toutes les phases bout-en-bout de leur projet de transformation, du cadrage de programmes jusqu'au coaching d'équipe et accompagnement managérial en passant par le design de parcours de formation à plusieurs niveaux.

En activité de fond aussi j'identifie les signaux faibles qui annoncent les ruptures → analyse les évolutions technologiques et leur impact réel sur les organisations → traduis la complexité technique en vision stratégique.

Ce que je surveille en ce moment :
• La montée en puissance de l'agentique
• La commoditisation des LLMs... et ses conséquences stratégiques
• L'impact de l'IA sur les métiers du conseil et de la formation

firm: RGP

headline: Medical Device and Pharmaceutical Leader in Supply Chain and Procurement

about:
I solve complex supply chain, procurement, and operations challenges that directly impact growth, cost, and operational resilience. As a strategic and analytical executive, I bring structure to uncertainty aligning cross-functional teams, stabilizing supplier networks, and building the governance, KPI, and financial reporting these teams need to make sound decisions under pressure. My focus is on the problems other people find hardest to unwind: supply disruptions, single- and sole-source risk, tariff and geopolitical exposure, cost pressure at scale, and misaligned SIOP/S&OP processes.

Over 25+ years in regulated medical device and pharmaceutical environments, I've led enterprise procurement, SIOP/S&OP, and global supply chain operations. Most recently, as Director of Procurement at Halozyme, I designed and led the enterprise procurement operating model governing $200M+ in annual spend building supplier and CDMO governance, transforming CAPEX approval and FP&A review discipline, and creating a supplier tariff and geopolitical risk framework used directly by executive leadership. As a Senior Supply Chain Transformation Consultant with RGP, I've since led an enterprise diagnostic and future-state operating model design for BVI Medical's global procurement, supplier governance, and SIOP functions including a similar risk-monitoring and segmentation framework.

Earlier in my career, I built and led global supply chain planning at Cantel Medical (a 23-person team spanning U.S. and international sites, delivering $5M–$22M in savings across multiple initiatives), directed strategic sourcing at Smiths Medical (£250M in annual direct material spend, $15–20M in annual savings), and held procurement and planning leadership roles at Medtronic/Covidien, Beckman Coulter, and Boston
