Signal-driven nudges deliver customer value

Pendo’s Orchestrate (multi-channel messaging)

Problem: Customers relied on clunky exports to act on Pendo data, breaking workflows and trust.

Solution: I helped build Orchestrate to turn live behavioral data into real-time, multi-channel actions inside Pendo.

Impact: Outreach became seamless, adoption grew, and Pendo evolved from insights to action. 2× shift from dormant to active users.

Unifying Workflows to Lift Conversions

Refersion

Problem: Affiliates lost time and trust juggling tools, while marketing teams struggled to optimize performance.

Solution: I led research to unify discovery, tracking, and payouts into a single portal using an Insight–Recommendation–Action framework.

Impact: The result was 2× higher conversions and a 30% reduction in wasted ROAS.

Turning Affiliate Intent into Revenue

Refersion

Problem: Brands sold well on Amazon but flew blind, unable to see affiliate impact or act fast.

Solution: I led research and an Amazon integration that turned opaque data into clear signals and next steps.

Impact: The result: 3×+ conversions, higher-margin affiliates, and a new revenue stream.

High Stakes Modernization of a Legacy System

United Network of Organ Sharing

Problem: Clinicians relied on an outdated matching system that forced manual workarounds and put viable organs at risk.

Solution: I led the modernization of the organ-matching experience, translating clinical workflows and regulatory constraints into decision-critical data that reduced response times by 50%.

Impact: This was the single component of UNOS’s five-part federal contract that was renewed.
