How I got here
In 2009 I joined Intel in Portland, OR where I worked for over 4 years across many parts of the business – supply chain, engineering, and finally, on the data team.
This allowed me to see:
- How valuable insights and analytics can be
- How quickly that value can disappear if someone doesn’t trust the data, or the one delivering it
I left Intel somewhat cynical about the future of data. In my last role on the data team I had seen how the centralised data team model equipped with good-looking Tableau dashboards simply didn’t have the same impact as when I was scrappily building Excel spreadsheets for my fellow buyers.
But I decided to give it one more go, and go get my Masters in London. In 2017 I studied Business Analytics at UCL where I deepened my technical foundations.
For my Master’s Dissertation I was matched with a small start-up called Count (Count Open at the time). The founders were trying to build a new kind of data tool – one that didn’t keep business people so separate from data and insights. I believed this was my chance to make a data tool that might’ve made my experience as an analyst better.
In my 7+ years at Count we iterated several ideas – a Natural-Language to SQL tool (way before its time), a notebook, before finally landing on the data canvas. Also in that time, my role was continually evolving from the go-to data analyst, to Head of Product, to Growth and GTM, to finally Chief of Staff.
In that time, I learned:
- The best data teams operate as partners with the business, not service desks
- Product analytics can tell you a lot, but talking to users almost always proves more valuable
- Don’t assume that the original statement of the problem is necessarily the best, or even the right one
After reaching Series A, I decided to leave Count for a much-deserved break. In that time I’ve rededicated myself to using my skills to help those in need.
I’m currently working with charities and non-profits to help them use data to better serve their communities. You can read more about my consulting work here.
