As a Director Analyst with Gartner for Technical Professionals on the Analytics & AI team, my primary focus is on conducting industry research and publishing thought leading insights. I provide actionable advice on analytics and business intelligence (A&BI) best practices, meeting and advising practitioners and product leaders across organizations and supporting clients through inquiries. A key aspect of my role is enabling end clients to design their future roadmaps for their data and analytics teams by intersecting actionable strategies and my past 25 years of work experience in various verticals. I actively share these insights through my published research and presenting at Gartner conferences globally.

My areas of specialization include:
- Analytics and business intelligence (A&BI) best practices
- Self-service enablement
- A&BI tool selection
- Metrics & Semantic Layer
- Augmented Analytics
- Data Storytelling
