MBA · Stamford, CT

Data Leader.
Strategic Thinker.

I'm a Senior Data & Analytics leader with 5+ years driving enterprise-scale compensation intelligence at Charter Communications, where I oversee the design, implementation, and governance of $1.2B in annual variable compensation across 40,000 payees.

As a founding member of Charter's National Incentives team, I helped transform a fragmented regional program into a unified, data-driven operation. I recently led the team's adoption of Claude AI, AWS, and Kiro to streamline analyst workflows and automate reporting.
