Bio
I am the product of the relationships I have built, the countries I have lived and worked in, and the people I have shared that time with. An entrepreneur and analyst at heart with a strong belief in repeating successful actions that bring constant value to the customer. I love winning especially when I'm doing it with a great team and a killer product. That's why I founded lpgrouppayments.com . A merchant services boutique with a no-nonsense attitude about leveraging your data to increase your profit. I am also a coach and mentor to the #1 ranked Analytics graduate program in North America - mcgill.ca/desautels/programs/mma I've helped companies (startups to scaleups) with: - Agile Product Development: From discovery to launch - Organizational Development: How to keep it lean and mean. From onboarding to learning and development - Setting up A/B experimentation framework with reporting. From scratch. - Setting up data tracking systems and product analytics from scratch - Solving problems using Data Science or ML/AI frameworks.
Expertise
Data science
I've hired, built and managed cross functional data science teams across different countries. From a one man show to creating a center of excellence. Recently worked as a Data Science product owner at a SaaS scaleup to drive R&D in their products
Mindset coaching
Our lives are made up of discreet increments of "open" time. Optimizing that time has helped me in understanding myself, how I work and how much I can do in order to move my goals forward.
Pricing strategy
The 3 Ps travel together. Pricing, Product and Packaging, I have helped price offers (in multiple geos) for direct response products and recently for an up and coming scale up. This is where product dev gets exciting
Product management
Ideas are good. Good ideas become great ideas when executed with the right framework. Successful rollouts are the result of a set of gates reached in product development that lead to the next phase.
Technology and tools
Tools help in speeding up otherwise long and slow processes. Product tooling can be used both internally and externally (think customer-facing) to serve a multitude of purposes. Not all tools are made equal and knowing when to fix, build, or buy can make a huge difference.
Toolkit
Google Analytics
14 years of experienceFrom tracking custom events to creating multiple A/B experiments. GA is the go-to tool that many marketers will start with to get a basic but very powerful understanding of interactions on their product
Google Analytics Experiments
12 years of experienceRan a product team that used GA experiments heavily as part of it's core structure. This will answer all of your funnel-type questions and will prevent you from pushing anything live that might harm your conversions
JIRA
13 years of experienceJIRA will add a layer of organization to your current team and structure. Whether working in waterfall or agile this can be setup in less then a day.
MySQL
14 years of experienceDie hard MySQL hacker. I use this on an almost everyday basis from my own work to those of my clients. I love the simplicity of it and how useful it is for reports and analysis. It is my go-to first tool for all data-related work.
Python
8 years of experiencePython is rapidly becoming the go-to language for full stack data science development. I've built experiment pipelines, API automations and still learning everyday
