Let’s solve the unsolvable, together

Hi, I’m Ellen,

I help you unlock, analyze, and decipher your data to answer important questions and make strategic business decisions.

Most businesses have access to more data than they know how to use. My specialty is pulling it together - often from siloed, disparate sources - extracting the most important insights, and distilling them into plain language and actionable steps for your business.

  • I decipher not only what your data says, but also its deeper impact on your business

Why me?

With deep expertise in risk management, financial modeling, and data analytics, I translate numbers into a compelling story, ensuring that data insights align seamlessly with your business objectives.

Prior to launching my consultancy, I spent 10 years working in investment management, trading, financial analysis, and risk management for Enron, Munder Capital Management, UBS Warburg Energy, and Lehman Brothers. My deep financial and portfolio management experience informs the data analysis work I do today. I bring the entirety of my professional experience to each client engagement.

I received a B.S. in Economics from The Wharton School of the University of Pennsylvania, where I was a Joseph Wharton Scholar, and an M.B.A. in Finance and Corporate Strategy from The University of Michigan’s Ross School of Business. I am a Chartered Financial Analyst (CFA® charterholder) through the Association of Investment Management and Research.
