VP, Data & Reporting at TechTorch · Data platforms, analytics, and applied AI

Boston, MA

I am VP, Data & Reporting at TechTorch, where I report to the president and lead the initiatives that grow our data practice. We fix the data problems that stop PE-backed companies from trusting their numbers: duplicate Salesforce records, broken billing migrations, and reporting that cannot survive a board meeting. Over 19 years I have architected a billion-dollar SaaS billing platform, run technology for a 500-person institution as CTO, and shipped LLM-based tools that turn thousands of contracts into structured, reconciled data. I do my best work where data engineering, AI, and real business stakes meet.

Selected Work

Problems I've solved

Board-ready reporting for PE portfolio companies

Context
PE-backed SaaS companies (500+ employees) whose CRM, billing, and finance data disagreed on ARR, renewals, and operating KPIs.
What I did
Led multi-country engineering teams to design and build governed data warehouses and reporting layers that reconcile Salesforce, billing, and finance sources into one set of numbers.
Outcome
Faster reporting cycles and board-level visibility that leadership and investors trust.
  • Data warehousing
  • Dimensional modeling
  • ELT
  • Salesforce
  • Subscription billing

Salesforce account de-duplication at scale

Context
Years of duplicate accounts were distorting pipeline, renewal, and customer-count metrics.
What I did
Designed a repeatable matching and survivorship system, then ran a phased rollout that measured the impact on key metrics before each wave and communicated changes ahead of time.
Outcome
A clean, maintainable account hierarchy with no surprises in the metrics the business runs on.
  • Salesforce
  • SQL
  • Data quality rules
  • Change management

Billing migration remediation for a $1B SaaS company

Context
A post-acquisition data migration left missed billings, duplicate subscriptions, and invalid pricing across the customer base.
What I did
Led the remediation: profiled the data, identified and recovered missed billings, consolidated duplicate subscriptions, corrected pricing, and put governance in place to keep quality high.
Outcome
Recovered revenue, a defensible subscription record, and durable data-quality controls.
  • Subscription billing (Zuora, Aria)
  • Salesforce
  • SQL
  • Data governance

AI contract intelligence

Context
Thousands of customer contracts sat in PDFs while billing systems carried terms nobody could verify.
What I did
Built an LLM-based extraction pipeline that converts unstructured contracts into structured terms and reconciles them against subscription and billing data.
Outcome
Revenue leakage uncovered across multiple clients, with a reusable tool the practice now applies on new engagements.
  • LLM extraction
  • Structured outputs
  • Billing reconciliation

Enterprise analytics platform for a 27-location institution

Context
As CTO of the Boston Public Library, performance data was collected by hand across 27 branches and 500 staff.
What I did
Led the design and rollout of an analytics platform on Power BI and Azure Data Factory, and paired it with operational apps for shift filling and social-work case data.
Outcome
1,500+ hours of manual collection saved annually and a measurable shift toward data-driven decisions.
  • Power BI
  • Azure Data Factory
  • MS Power Platform
  • Next.js
