## Work Experience
### [Electronic Arts (EA)](https://ea.com)
_Senior Diector of Growth Analytics and Data Science (2020--2023), including
[Glu Mobile](https://glu.com)_
<details>
<summary>
Building and leading teams with a focus on growth marketing, including
a cross-functional business intelligence team (in partnership with
engineering), marking analysts (embedded with the Marketing team), and data
science with a focus on user acquisition. I define the vision for growth
marketing analytics and the execution the plan. As a member of EA Mobiles
Growth Team senior leadership team, I collaborate across teams to more
effectively measure the health of players and games, identify differences in
our players, and discover new opportunities to grow revenue revenue.
</summary>
Accomplishments include:
- *Saving the company \$100 million in marketing expenses when launching a
new game.* I surfaced and demonstrated that the incumbent forecasting
methodology would lead to bad business decisions prior to game launch. I
then convened a cross-functional team to tackle the problem. Additionally,
I implemented a transition state model for forecasting cohort growth as an
\texttt{R} package. In addition to reducing wasteful spend, the approach I
drove enabled informed, constructive conversations between the game
development and marketing teams.
- *Cutting the effort required for analyzing marketing campaigns in half.*
Prior to me joining Glu, we stored player activities in terms game events
and did not completely track our marketing activities. Furthermore, the
tools we were using (Hive and Hadoop) required specialized computing
skills. I assembled a cross-functional team effort to modernize our
business intelligence practice. We now use a scalable, cloud-based
relational data warehouse with analytics friendly tables of key business
processes. We are adopting this approach across the entire EA Mobile
portfolio.

\item \emph{Navigating Apples App Tracking Transparency initiative to
maintain acquisition budgets.} Apples
\href{https://developer.apple.com/documentation/storekit/skadnetwork}{SKAdNetwork}
initiative is a threat to businesses that have relied on performance
marketing and use attribution data to manage user acquisition campaigns.
I lead our business intelligence and data science teams through our
response to this challenge. We built new pipelines and analytical
strategies that let us continue advertising budget on iOS while
competitors drastically reduced budgets.
\item \emph{Increasing the returns from product marketing.} Building an
embedded marketing analysts team. Our Marketing team had operated without
dedicated analytical support prior to my arrival. As a result, the team
was limited in its ability to design experiments that would result in
unbiased measurements. Our move to an embedded model means that analysts
now have the full context of marketing initiatives, the authority to
design experiments, and responsibility for interpreting results. We set
the combined marketing and marketing analysts team on a path of continuous
improvement cycles with clear ties between marketing activities and
incremental revenue.
