Senior Strategy and Analytics Consultant
Bio
I was one of the first 150 employees at DoorDash, working there for six years of hyper-growth. When I left DoorDash, the company had scaled to over 12,000 employees, operating on five continents. While at the company, I worked in both data science and operations roles. I helped build DoorDash's lead scoring algorithm, grocery logistics business, and driver supply and demand system. I also drove growth strategy for the company's launches in Sacramento, East Bay, Fresno, and Bakersfield. I managed several teams across various functions and navigated the complexities of a rapidly scaling organization.
