What I do
As the Launch Director for D^3 Institute, I am building a start-up within a historic institution. I enjoy the strategy and operations involved in creating new organizations. My focus in these early years is to ensure that the institute has a streamlined operating model, rationalized processes that accomplish our key objectives, and a foundation capable of scaling.
What I care about
As a PhD in quantitative social science, I am passionate about empirical research into the impact of policies and market forces on society.
How I connect to the D^3 Mission
The D^3 Institute is solving some of the most difficult real-world problems that arise in the digital era. This mission is important to me, as someone who has spent my career at the intersection of social science research and working within industry to build organizations that enable data science and effective use of data assets.
