Senior Vice President, Weather Analytics @ DTN

I led the Weather Analytics business of the tech company DTN from 2015-2019, and worked in the business prior. My team developed, commercialized and supported predictive analytics and machine learning products which predicted the impact of weather on infrastructure, transportation and agriculture. Some of the products my team developed are the Storm Impact Analytics system which predicts power outages for electric utilities, and the Flight Route Alerting engine which predicts turbulence and helps airlines optimize flight safety.
