Tanaya Pole
Head of Data
Bio
I help teams figure out what actually matters and how to build around it. Most companies struggle with four things: 1. Choosing the right metrics - What should we really be optimizing for? 2. Building the right data foundation - What platform, structure, and processes will scale? 3. Deciding what to do next using data - Turning insights into clear priorities. 4. Starting with AI in a practical way - Where it actually adds real value. I’ve led these efforts as Head of Data at a high growth startup, partnering closely with leadership to connect metrics, infrastructure, and AI to real business outcomes. If you are feeling overwhelmed by dashboards, unclear priorities, or unsure how AI fits into your business, I can help you simplify and move forward with clarity.
Expertise
Artificial intelligence
As Head of Data, I led AI and personalization initiatives by starting with business goals first. I’ve implemented LLM-powered analytics, segmentation models, and automation that drove measurable growth and helped teams use AI in practical, scalable ways.
Building a team
I built the data function from scratch, hiring and managing Analysts and Analytics & Data Engineers. I set roadmaps, aligned stakeholders, and created scalable processes so marketing, product, and leadership could make better decisions with data.
Product analytics
I’ve led product analytics at high-growth tech companies. I define the right metrics, improve tracking, design experiments, and turn user behavior into clear product and growth decisions.
