Working with Avery changed how our team treats data. He built pipelines we still rely on, asked the questions nobody else thought to ask, and made every review clearer instead of longer. I would work with him again without hesitation.

Avery is the rare analyst who is equally at home in a model notebook and a boardroom. He took our most ambiguous strategic questions and returned answers with numbers, caveats, and a recommendation you could act on.
