**  
I love the challenge of solving business problems with innovative applications of analytics and/or AI/ML

**What led you to your current role?  
**  
I have been working in the Predictive Analytic, BI/DW and Big Data area for over 15 years, I then challenged myself to earn a law degree (J.D.) and when the opportunity to combine my passions presented itself, it became an easy decision.

**Did you have any key mentors or people who deeply influenced you, can you tell us about them?  
**  
Mr. Krish Krishnan is a friend and former colleague of mine, who is recognized as a thought leader in the DW and Big Data space. He challenged me to use analytics to elevate an organization, through efficiencies, risk reduction and better decision making.

**Can you describe to us a current project/transformation you are working on?  
**  
On the business side of operating a law firm, we have several initiatives underway to optimize our marketing and business development functions. On the practice of law side of the house, we are implementing analytic & Artificial Intelligence tools to assist with contract analysis, legal research, early case assessment and legal project management.

**What has this project taught you?  
**  
In addition to creating innovative solutions, it is still imperative to have a change management plan, in order for the solution to be truly adopted.

**What excites you most about the future?  
**  
We are just scratching the surface... The possibilities in this industry are extraordinary in a field that is far away from mature.

**If you could give 1 piece of advice to someone looking to start a career in data & analytics, what would it be?  
**  
Don't discount the importance of building business acumen to compliment your analytic skills.
