Hello!

I am a senior data leader with both product-side and consulting experience; equally comfortable growing teams as I am running large organizations. Data is an asset and I focus on unlocking its value by treating it like a product. I have practical know-how ranging from AI/ML and data architecture to data strategy and driving organizational data maturity. Deeply comfortable working with a diverse set of stakeholders and have demonstrated success in distilling complex problems into actionable and achievable solutions.

In my current role, I oversee all data roles (including Data Strategy, Data Engineering, Analytics Engineering, and Data Analytics teams) as Executive Vice President, Data and AI at Brooklyn Data Co, a Velir Company Prior to joining BDC, I was an Engineering Manager and Data Scientist at VMware and previously worked at Pivotal.  I have a Ph.D. in political science from the University of Rochester where I conducted research on American political institutions, especially legislative bodies.  My dissertation largely focused on member participation in the U.S. House of Representatives in the form of floor speeches.

I currently live outside Boston. Please feel free to contact me with any questions via email at David.A.Gelman@gmail.com.
