You understand that no single measurement methodology provides a complete answer. You know when to apply MMM, experimentation, closed‑loop attribution, platform measurement, or user‑level analysis—and how to triangulate those approaches to produce a more reliable view of marketing performance. You enjoy building capabilities, not simply delivering analyses. You can establish frameworks, develop teams, improve processes, and create repeatable solutions that scale across multiple clients. You are intellectually curious, commercially minded, and comfortable challenging established approaches when better data or methodology suggests a different direction.
