Hello, I'm Richard. I'm a Data Executive.

For companies that want to win with data and analytics, I develop value-creating analytical solutions and scalable data products by harnessing a diverse background across business, data, product and technology.

Some of the Amazing Companies and Clients I’ve Worked With

I Lead With Three Principals on Data

For a company to win in their market, they must first have a data strategy that is aligned to their business strategy and that is focused on value creation. Especially for growth strategies, value is most achieved when scaled with owned technology platforms or partner digital channels. As data touches everything, success can only be achieved through collaboration and alignments.

Focus on Value Creation

I help companies develop a combination of ‘offensive’ and ‘defensive’ data strategies. This translates to sales and marketing functions empowered by analytics, support streamlined with AI, data products optimizing user experiences and conversions. By prioritization is key for focus and return on investments for all stakeholders involved.

Scale with Technology

I bring an industry-leading view on Data Products, such as Personalization and Recommendation engines that can be embedded in owned or partner platforms. Furthermore, I believe in investing in scalable data system architectures to balance democratization and innovation with necessary governance processes.

Execute by Collaborating

Data presents power, and often projects fail due to political fights over that power. I focus on bringing a One Team, One Dream collaborative culture to everything we do, and bias towards building self-service data platforms and support with a broad data literacy program enabling everyone to become data heroes.

“Richard is the best hire I made as a Technology Executive. He's a strategic thinker on business value, extremely effective at communications and organizational change, and deeply technical to lead global data experts at implementing large-scale solutions.”

I Will Help You Win with Data & Analytics

For companies that are transforming and evolving their technical and digital capabilities, I bring a unique combined understanding of strategic analytics, digital data products and leadership. AB InBev has been able to leverage my skills to develop a data analytics-driven global FinTech ecosystem. My team led the efforts to develop an Algorithmic Credit Engine that has driven higher sales while reducing bad debt across multiple markets. We also developed Credit Management tools by developing visualizations and interpretable models used by Finance leaders.

As a result, just one year after joining AB InBev, I was promoted to global head of data analytics, now managing a global team of 30+ across data engineering, science, analytics and other data talents. I was also awarded the prestigious Partner designation by AB InBev.

As a Data Analytics Executive at your company, I will bring the same principals mentioned: 1) Focus on value creation, 2) Scale with Technology and 3) Execute by Collaborating to drive significant financial and cultural impact.
