After five years in finance, I was able to combine my passion for professional sports with my ability to solve problems with data when I joined my hometown Boston Red Sox as a baseball analytics intern. I now oversee our analytics and strategy team and set the data strategy for the entire organization on a daily basis.
Originally from Australia, I moved to Boston with my family when I was six and grew up obsessing over sports. After graduating Harvard with a degree in economics, I went to work on Wall Street at Morgan Stanley where I ran the firm’s US Inflation Derivative business. After five years, I headed to Chicago Booth to obtain my MBA to pursue my dream of working in sports.
After graduation, I managed to talk my way into a baseball analytics internship with my hometown Boston Red Sox, working for the esteemed Bill James on projects around player performance projections. I was fortunate to receive an opportunity to apply the same skills to the business side of the house, leveraging data and analytics to help drive revenues at the organization.
Over the past ten years, I have built my team to encompass data infrastructure, business intelligence, CRM, predictive analytics, and machine learning all with the goal of helping the Boston Red Sox drive success off the field so that we can also find success on the field.
