I am a strategic innovator with deep expertise in Enterprise Technologies, Big Data and Cloud Computing. Having a global product professional like me also gives my employer a Data Scientist for free, a really powerful combination for any organization that looks to take their business to the next level using data driven marketing. I create next generation products that delight and excite customers. I see Product Marketing as an opportunity to apply Data Science to maximize monetization and usage for products and services where rich customer data sets are available for mining and analysis. My strong understanding of both global business and data science allows me to help management define objectives for the supporting data science team and, once the model is built, package model insights into a product story that the business can understand. Simply put, for people who are not familiar with Data Science, about half of all Data Science projects today are about building models help improve marketing. What can those projects deliver? A good model can: Example #1: "tell"​ with 83% accuracy if customer X will buy product Y if he is targeted with promotion Z Example #2: "tell" with 90% accuracy if user X will click on button Y in the next gaming session I am always interested to explore new roles where I can apply my unique skill set to launch and grow a product that will help emerging Data Scientists build and operationalize better models easier and faster.
