Direction, focus, and strategic intelligence to turn complexity into real progress.

Selective strategic advisory and interim support alongside my work as a Data & AI leader.
My primary focus is on leading and building data, analytics, and AI functions. This advisory work exists as a selective, parallel track.

I partner with founders and executive teams of fast-growing companies with high-stakes strategic decisions around data, analytics, and AI. My work is about moving from ambiguity to direction, and from complexity to decisions that create real business impact.

I work to eliminate the silent chaos that makes fast-growing companies decide quickly and wrongly: ambiguity, illusions, fragile alignment, and unspoken conflicts.

I uncover the real cause behind wrong decisions, translate complexity into direction, and turn data and AI into strategic intelligence that unlocks growth.

Founders don’t need more information.
They need better decisions. I make that happen.

STRATEGIC FIT CONVERSATION

Who this is for

• Founders and executive leaders of growing companies

How I Work

Why It works

Because I work personally, with executive depth and root-cause thinking.
I don’t sell hours. I don’t sell operational packages. I don’t outsource direction.
My work requires depth, not volume.

Jessika was a strong asset to Nubank as one of our key analytic engineering leaders.

It's been a great pleasure being under the leadership of Jess at Nubank, who performed the roles of direct manager, squad lead, and chapter lead. Her stewardship and dedication were paramount to taking the Analytics Engineering chapter to a whole new level. Her negotiation skills alongside her interpersonal skills were critical for our team in coordinating projects and dependencies among multiple stakeholders in complex environments. Additionally, her thoughtful approach to managing and developing people is unanimously recognized and deeply appreciated by everyone under her leadership.
