Jacob Davis
Data science, strategy, and analytics executive.
I build and lead teams that focus on what's useful, not just correct.
I'm a practitioner first: I build analytics organizations and data businesses across CRM, media measurement, martech, loyalty, and healthcare, then speak and teach about what made them work.

Jake Davis Analytics
Jake Davis Analytics is where I publish independent analytical work: long-form pieces on uncertainty, small samples, and what the data can and can't tell you, using the NFL and other leagues as the test case.
The publication also maintains public NFL models and interactive tools.
