Biography
Paul Legutko is originally from Brooklyn, NY. He attended Harvard College and completed a Ph.D. in Classical Archaeology at the University of Michigan. During his graduate training, Paul participated in archaeological excavations in Greece and Italy, and taught classes as a graduate student instructor. Trained in data analysis and statistical techniques, Paul began to explore career options outside of academia in 1999 doing survey analysis at a Non-Profit affiliated with Johns Hopkins University. While on a postdoctoral fellowship at Stanford University in 2004, Paul joined Semphonic, a boutique web analytics consultancy. As it grew from 5 FTE’s to 40 FTE’s, Paul moved to Boston and managed Semphonic’s Boston Office, which employed seven people and focused on clients up and down the East Coast. Semphonic was acquired by Ernst & Young LLP in March 2013, and the team constituted itself as the core of a Digital Analytics COE that today has over 130 consultants. Eager to bring wider analytics and business intelligence capabilities directly to the advertising world, Paul joined Hill Holliday, and IPG agency, in 2018, and currently leads the Business Intelligence team there. Paul continues to stay involved in classical archaeology, and provides statistical support for a number of clinical research studies in Ophthalmology. Paul lives in Lexington, MA.
