Our large analytics team is empowered to move fast and gather the data we need to achieve our mission. Our parent organization owns end-to-end data collection systems (Clickstream), experimentation (Weblab) and customer value forecasting (GCCP). We are working across organizational boundaries to identify relevant datasets and are able to curate the vast amount of data we have into meaningful business reporting and analysis.
