  Statistical modeling analyst

  As part of the Decision Science team, I supported the integrated marketing department through use of statistical analysis, building predictive models, and creating self-service dashboards for clients. These predictive models aid in the generation of revenue by increasing the response rate and average order size of marketing campaigns. I also employed models in the detection of fraud, by simultaneously reducing screen rate and increasing fraud capture rate. I aided in the creation of A/B testing efforts to determine which marketing decision does better at driving customer purchase behavior. I led the effort within my team to pursue more advanced analytics, including the use of R and more advanced modeling techniques such as xgboost. Show less

  Lead, manage, and train a team of data science and analyst members to deliver exceptional analytic services across internal functions and external client deliverables, while also serving as a lead analytics project contributor. A major initiative has been transitioning analytic capabilities from on-prem to cloud based services to meet growing client needs. I serve as a fierce advocate across the business to support and grow our analytic footprint and exposure across the business to grow work for the team and defend analytic best practices. Serve as a senior leader tasked with managing project work, prioritizing efforts, growing individual capabilities and acting as executive oversight over junior members. Show less Working across a breadth of different customer clients, I support direct client deliverables through means of traditional analytics, statistics, data visualization and machine learning operations. These workflows vary drastically from client to client and require the ability to work with massive amounts of data from different sources and adapt to different data structures and client needs. A significant portion of this client work has been focused on building machine learning models to boost consumer behavior and extract new insights to develop business strategy. I also lead the development of many of our analytic software offerings that includes the vision casting, architecting, developing, implementing and testing of these products. These offerings have moved manual project processes into streamlined product offerings that have saved hundreds of hours on cost and dramatically increased project ROI. Show less
