• Deep knowledge of the modern privacy and signal-loss ecosystem (e.g., third-party cookie deprecation, privacy sandboxes, consent frameworks, clean rooms, and modeled data solutions).
• Demonstrated ability to synthesize diverse, high-volume datasets into clear, executive-ready visualizations and strategic GTM narratives.
• Demonstrated experience utilizing generative AI platforms (e.g., Claude, NotebookLM, Gemini) to accelerate data synthesis, streamline deck preparation, or build automated enablement workflows.
