About Me
I'm a Data Scientist with a PhD in Statistics and a track-record of helping to build successful startups. My primary focus is on product development, vision alignment, and communication within the realm of data science.
I'm also the founder of Sunbeam, a feedback analytics company using AI to improve the way in which feedback is handled in large organizations.
I started my career at Opensignal as the first Data Scientist, and then led the Data Science team. Opensignal was acquired by Comlinkdata in 2021.
I switched from sensor data to human surveys and was an early employee at Peakon, where I again established and led the data team. Peakon was acquired by Workday in 2021.
I then continued at Workday, leading Data Science, ML & Methodology for the Employee Voice product.
I have an interest in the emerging applications of Natural Language Processing (NLP) and large language models to feedback management and survey methodology. In addition, I serve as an advisor and investor for a select number of startups, primarily those that overlap with my experience.
Lately I've been really focused on analysing hotel and hospitality feedback, and trying to make it easier to improve guest satisfaction using feedback.
