Aircell LLC is a start up company building an air-to-ground network that allows wireless service on both commercial and private jets. I implemented marketing and sales CRM/automation bringing in both Salesforce and Eloqua to Aircell. Prior to my development of the CRM project Aircell did not know that they would need CRM automation; I convinced them otherwise. I built the CRM strategy and processes. I developed analytic and research capabilities with customer data warehousing, data management, analytics tools (bringing in SPSS), developing research vendor RFPs, project managed analytic projects as well as conducted analysis myself, mostly quantitative joining survey, demographic and usage data. I wrote surveys and then built and deployed them in Eloqua (saving the company many 100,000s), performed analytic research including a direct observation (qualitative) piece to determine market penetration of wireless services at hotspots. I built a team for CRM and lead analysts all over the company in MIS projects and training for SQL skills. Aircell launched product in the autumn of 2008.

While working at Grainger I trained a team of 50 on SPSS base, SPSS programming, and advanced analytics. I recommended further enhancements of the server encouraging strict adherence to SPSS server recommendations and development of relational database for housing extremely large files. Anyone who says SPSS can't handle 70 million record files (over 100 gigs) is incorrect ... Grainger proves them wrong.

I love new technology/gadgets. If I could spend all my extra time building new toys like a TIVO out of an old computer, or a bug robot for my son I would thoroughly enjoy my life. I would really like to see more technology developed specifically for women ... so the LED purse that tells you when your keys are missing just rocks!
