• A self-starter drive to proactively set priorities and execute against them in a fast-paced entrepreneurial environment
• Demonstrated success managing and mentoring consultants/analysts
• Experience overseeing teams that use a range of data tools/languages to conduct/automate analysis and derive insights (e.g., Alteryx, SQL, QGIS, Python, R, Tableau, Qlik, etc.)
