Principal, RVM Consulting New York, NY 01/15-present Provide data analytics, business development, and operations support to clients. Clients and projects include:

Time Warner Cable – Negotiate contracts with large vendors, provide internal consulting support. o Created internal set-top device inventory for understanding obsolescence, deploy-ability, and functionality. The output of this work was used to improve our negotiating with set-top vendors, improve retirements and capital spending, and identify week device performers. o Modeled an index for equipment obsolescence on approximately 50 variables using statistical clustering and principle components analysis on several hundred varieties of set-top boxes using R. This model was then used to make recommendations about which models should be retired to remove the worst performers constrained by capital spending. o Created a model using optimal control theory to discover the optimal point in time to begin equipment retirements.

o Created time series models that improved capital forecasting for equipment purchases. o Modeled optimal depot locations using the k-centers algorithm coded in Python to find the best places throughout the network to locate spares caches.

World Wide Supply – Assist with business development by providing introductions to key players in Cable TV industry, assist on sales calls, and draft appropriate pitches to potential clients.

Adakin Capital LLC – Work with this family practice to provide business insight to telecom equipment sellers, identify key technology trends, and provide thought leadership in this area.

Accenture -- Subject matter expert in telecom and analytics work: o Large telecom client: Create database models to evaluate 6-million customer records and approximately 20-million tickets to identify equipment that had higher than expected number of faults. Create reports, by state, equipment type, region, etc. using R and SQL. Supported other aspects of this large cost reduction engagement including using analytics to support vendor equipment negotiations – vendor was charging different rates for essentially the same support for different parts of the business. Used non-parametric modeling on very dirty data to examine and model technician completion times for various task types. Showed that reducing target times could lead to significant cost reduction without noticeable changes in performance. o Large Domestic Cable TV Client: Provided business introductions to key staff. Helped to generate analytics approaches for identifying the best routes for laying new fiber optic cables by selecting amongst possible fiber routes.

o Large International Cable TV Client: Created modeling approaches for forecasting bandwidth and identifying when it crossed a threshold, used the output from this model to inform a logistics model that determined if an optical node should be re-engineered and split during the fiscal year from amongst numerous candidates. Additional inputs include spatial data, customer profitability, and other parameters. This is ongoing work.

o Large European Telecom Client: Provided subject matter expertise on equipment reliability tracking.

MDSi – Support business plan development for new division including creating business plan and revenue/cost forecasts.
