I train and coach Analytics Connectors.

Improving your ability to visualize, interpret, translate, communicate and implement analytical information.

Hi, I'm Chris Clark, Analytics Connector Coach.

I’ve spent my career on both sides of the table — as an analytics technologist and as business leader. I’ve seen the disconnect that can often take place between these two roles, causing the challenges that can doom many analytics initiatives to failure.

Business leaders and analytics technologists need to be able speak each other’s language to ensure that analytics and AI projects are successful. Analytics Connectors help ensure that the deep insights generated through sophisticated analytics translate into impact at scale in an organization.

As an Analytics Connector Coach, I provide my experience and my expertise to my coaching clients: I’ve spent my career as a management consultant, retired from Fidelity Investments, and completed Master’s degrees in both Business Administration and Predictive Analytics.

Let’s start a conversation, I’d love to be your coach.
