Hi, I'm Sean
AI & Data Analytics Leader
I lead data and analytics teams and build advanced AI systems, from agent orchestration to natural-language querying over governed data, that turn trusted data into faster, better business decisions. Based in San Francisco.
About
Building analytics teams and the AI systems behind them
I lead data and analytics teams, building advanced AI systems that make trusted information easier to find, understand, and use.
At Serena & Lily, I lead Data Analytics: AI agent orchestration for development workflows, natural-language querying over governed semantic layers, and automated analytics intake. Earlier roles at Dolls Kill and Williams-Sonoma span company strategy, data infrastructure, forecasting, merchandising, inventory, and omnichannel operations.
Outside work, I build software projects and explore practical uses of AI in analytics. Away from a screen, I'm usually running, hiking, or planning a national park trip.
