If you would like to read Part 1 of this Series, please find it at this link. A fair amount has happened since my Scaling Analytical Insights with Python (Part 1) post back in August. Since that time, I decided to resign from FloSports in order to join Amazon’s Kindle Content Acquisition team as a Sr. Product Manager -- this obviously includes moving my family from Austin, TX to Seattle. While this was taking place behind the scenes, I had every intention to return to my write up of Part 2 of this series. Note that I’ve decided to put Part 3 on hold, and I may potentially not revisit the topic of using Python for financial analysis for a decent while. ...

In recent months, I’ve written about some of the critical undertakings and initiatives which I oversee as VP of Product at FloSports. These have included my efforts to build a data informed culture through product experimentation, our overall approach to our analytics tech stack, and our approach to building and reviewing our rolling financial forecasts. ...

As VP of Product at FloSports, I oversee our data warehouse roadmap and manage a team consisting of a senior product manager, product revenue developers, data engineers, and data analysts. Some of the responsibilities that I really enjoy about this work include working at the forefront of business intelligence, leveraging data and product analytics tools such as Periscope Data, Mode Analytics and Segment, and collaborating with very bright people to drive measurable results and accelerate our growth. ...

In my most recent post, Data Informed Experiments, I discussed the difference between being “data informed” and being “data driven”. I also provided some perspective related to building a “data informed” organizational culture – my intent is to share what we have learned along the way and discuss the applications which enable us to take advantage of all of the work we’ve completed to-date. ...

I am presently VP of Product (Revenue and Analytics) at FloSports, a direct-to-consumer provider of live streaming and on-demand digital sports content. In this role, I focus on product innovations which can drive top-line growth while also overseeing analytics (business, product, and data, among others). Recently, our CEO Martin Floreani has spoken about the business intelligence platform we have been building out since last year, which is internally known as Neptune. His interview with Sports Techie, where he discusses the impact Neptune has had on the business, can be found here. I have been fortunate to be one of FloSports’ founding members of Neptune and am responsible for overseeing both our data source and business intelligence reporting roadmaps. ...
