Summary

Two decades of primary, secondary, and syndicated research delivery and program management experience. I've gone through the whole research cycle, from doing research and strategy in-house at a leading technology service provider (internal advisory) to working as an industry analyst (external advisory) at two large third-party research firms. The ability to manage research investigations, test parameters, and project frameworks is made easier by expertise in the field, market trends, competitive analysis, and research tools. Adept at putting together the people, supplies, and tools that a team needs to finish a project and give a timely analysis.
