Spiral Solutions provides online marketing services to several websites. I was responsible for Online Competitive Intelligence and Web Analytics.

Daniel Waisberg’s Education

Tel Aviv University

M.Sc. , Online Behavior Analysis , 2004 — 2007

Statistical and mathematical models that improve the process of decision making were central themes of my studies and of the thesis I wrote. My research aims at improving the conversion rates of websites by using statistical analysis of online behavior. I used data from an e-commerce website to test the model I developed, and obtained exciting results. The model proposed is based on Markov Chains and identifies the most important pages for the achievement of the websites’ goals. I extracted online behavior data using Google Analytics navigational analysis.
Pontifícia Universidade Católica de Minas Gerais

During B.A. I published two articles:

Habonim Dror a (trans)forming experience - A description of the management and ideological structure of Habonim Dror, the youth movement where I worked.
