A little about me…

Noelle is a lifelong math nerd who had the incredible luck of entering the tech industry just as Data Science became a thing. Over the last 15+ years, she has championed data-driven strategies, led high-performing data science teams and delivered actionable insights to optimize business performance for numerous companies across industry verticals.

Her approach to Data Science as a discipline is collaborative and cross-functional: successful models do not exist in a vacuum, and neither do data scientists. She has partnered closely with design, product, and engineering teams to foster a data-driven culture and products.

Noelle is currently the Head of Research Analytics (AI & ML) at Fortrea, where she drives innovative solutions in clinical research as a leader in the AI/ML Rapid Development Studio.

Previously, she held leadership roles at Salesforce and Pivotal. At DataKind, she led global projects for social impact organizations under DataKind’s Economic Resilience portfolio. Noelle holds an A.B. from Washington University in St. Louis in Applied Mathematics and Physical Anthropology and a M.S. in Applied Mathematics from Cal Poly Pomona.
