My Journey Started with a Simple Question

What makes someone perform at their best? I've spent 15 years chasing this question, starting in professional baseball during the Moneyball era. Back then, we were revolutionizing how teams understood talent through data.

That same curiosity led me from sports to tech, where I helped companies like Wayfair, Sonos, and Figma understand their people better. Now I'm applying those lessons to AI, not to replace people, but to help them do their best work.

Where I've Made an Impact

The Sports Years: Learning to Measure Performance

I started my analytics career in professional sports during the Moneyball era. From baseball to soccer, I worked across multiple leagues and organizations, learning how to use data to identify talent and create competitive advantages.

The Tech Years: Scaling Human Potential

I moved to hyper-growth tech companies and shifted from measuring players to measuring employees. The same principles that help you understand why a player succeeds also help you understand why teams thrive.
