Introducing The Data Score Newsletter

A newsletter that explores how to generate actionable insights from data and technology, brought to you by DataChorus LLC.

After spending 20 years in financial markets, working for sell-side equity research, and within an investment bank¹, it’s exciting to be out on my own: I’ve founded DataChorus LLC².

DataChorus generates actionable insights for business professionals and investors at scale, powered by data and technology. In an era of abundant data, the biggest obstacle for decision makers is no longer the lack of information, but rather the ability to effectively extract meaningful and impactful insights from the overwhelming data sets at their disposal.

🎼 In the music world, the chorus of a song brings together all the musicians together centered around the theme of the song, with a memorable melody, catchy lyrics supported by dynamic harmonies that build from the rest of the song. A great chorus brings joy to the audience by putting an exclamation point on the idea and feeling of the song.

💡 In the data world, DataChorus brings together technology, data, statistics, science, and business intelligence as one to deliver remarkable insights that improve professional decision making. Unfortunately, in the world of data and analytics, it is often that the components of actionable insights operate in silos, unable to create the satisfying exclamation point of the work. DataChorus helps professionals skip to the good part, and get actionable insights.

The Data Score Newsletter, if I may keep the metaphor going, is the “written musical composition” of what it takes to extract insight from data at scale by bringing all the silos together.

• Our focus will be on aligning data and technology with the outcomes that decision makers need.

• We'll dig into how different types of datasets and analytic frameworks can provide answers to critical questions in the decision-making process.

• We'll explore the most suitable process and technology solutions to scale a data practice.

• We'll discuss the right mindset and principles for creating data products that have a high impact.

• We’ll demystify how the ROI of a dataset can be determined.

• We’ll explore new and impactful breakthroughs in data and technology.

Let's discuss the ideas and insights in our newsletter openly. Our Data Score Newsletter offers actionable ways to gain insightful results and can serve as a benchmark for you and your colleagues' approaches. While I have strong opinions on the most effective methods to turn raw data into high-impact insights that drive growth, I am aware that there are multiple ways to achieve results. I would love to hear your thoughts - Let's have an open conversation and explore how we can maximize our potential for success.
