Director, Data Science and Analytics

UBM (UBM.L) focuses on two principal activities: worldwide information distribution, targeting and monitoring| and, the development and monetization of B2B communities and markets. UBM's businesses inform markets and serve professional commercial communities -- from doctors to game developers, from journalists to jewelry traders, from farmers to pharmacists -- with integrated events, online, print and business information products. Our 6,500 staff in more than 30 countries are organized into specialist teams that serve these communities, bringing buyers and sellers together, helping them to do business and their markets to work effectively and efficiently.

I am highly driven and accomplished in thought leadership with proven experience designing data excellence programs and implementing platforms to deliver advanced analytic capabilities to drive commercial B2B and B2C success. I am a continuous learner with a unique ability to transform data challenges into opportunities. I have extensive experience in data science product strategy and am adept at asking the right questions and identifying the right problems to solve. I can define enterprise strategies to implement analytics to drive commercial results using machine learning and predictive models. I come with a propensity to excel against adversity by overcoming obstacles and facilitating change. My innate ability to bridge the data-to-insights-to-action gap and interpret analytics produces dramatic revenue growth, pulling together disparate, cross-silo data to drive continuous improvement. I know how to isolate opportunities to innovate products and platforms that deliver unique customer experiences. I lead data teams with a focus on creating tools and supporting a data-driven culture while providing a cross-functional understanding of data, navigating data ownership issues and governance toward a federated model. I'm also proficient in establishing robust relationships/collaborations with functional departments and senior leadership to achieve organizational goals.
