Background

About John Dawson

I am a Business Transformation Manager. I care about the answers to ”How?” and “Why?”. Since I can remember, I wanted to experience the inner workings of toys, electronics, and everything else around me. This ultimately led to a career in data analytics. Previously, I worked for the Dallas Cowboys as an Analyst within their merchandising company, monitoring active inventory and charting profits/sales for clients. I analyzed seasonal and geographical purchasing patterns and presented findings to managers, buyers, planners, and corporate executives. I helped stakeholders gain insights from data by coordinating support for all data and its functions. Daily responsibilities included onboarding new data sets to data analysis and visualization. Those closest to me would describe me as creative, efficient, and resourceful, especially when it comes to problem-solving.
