Experience
Head of Business Intelligence & Performance Marketing
Black Clover · Feb 2025 – Present
- Built cross-channel marketing analytics and BI infrastructure to measure Google, Meta, and Microsoft against a $3.6M+ annual ad budget; measurement-led optimization contributed to ~50% YoY revenue growth.
- Replaced Domo (~$20K/month) with Google Cloud Run for under $30/month; same warehouse work, identity fail-closed so the field can read the number and cannot rewrite it.
- Engineered SQL/ETL pipelines integrating ad platforms with Oracle NetSuite; shipped real-time MER dashboards that reduced spend leakage ~30%.
- Built a Cloud Run partner portal for ~50 users (executives, rep leads, and reps) on live NetSuite with tiered access.
- Cut Google from ~50% to 35% of paid spend while total spend and total ROAS both rose; built a five-year history dashboard so the CEO could see the full picture. Used Meridian MMM plus GeoLift/RCTs when channels claimed the same sale.
- Architected executive reporting unifying paid and organic KPIs into a single source of truth for leadership.
Advertising Data Scientist
Nutricost · Aug 2024 – Feb 2025
- Built statistical measurement frameworks for a ~$2M/month paid portfolio across Amazon, Google, Meta, and TikTok; used noise-reduction and incrementality testing to isolate true channel impact.
- Found Amazon Ads over-crediting itself for sales organic search would have delivered; ran Google Ads campaigns to lift Amazon organic rankings. Developed MTA, cohort, and predictive analyses to guide cross-functional spend decisions.
- Supported day-to-day optimization on select ad accounts alongside the measurement work: data-first, with hands-on media execution when needed.
- Drove analytics-led growth for DTC sub-brands (Ketologic, Primaforce); scaled daily spend through data-validated expansion.
Founder and Data Analytics Consultant
McFly Ads · Apr 2020 – Present
- Advise e-commerce and DTC brands on measurement strategy, attribution, and media optimization; deploy MMM, forecasting, and performance reporting.
- Built Tableau/Domo BI pipelines integrating Amazon, Meta, and Google data with LTV and channel-level ROI visibility.
- Partner with non-technical stakeholders to turn measurement output into clear budget and creative recommendations.
- Shipped the Mcfly Analytics Shopify App (live at mcflyanalytics.com): customer value, cohorts and up to five years of sales history for Shopify merchants (side product; separate from consulting practice).
Quantitative Options Strategist
Independent · 2018 – Present
- Designed statistical / Bayesian frameworks for systematic options strategies; Level 4 options authorization; independent capital allocation.
