Hi, I'm Derek Shirley

Data & Analytics Leader | Architecting Data-Driven Strategy

I build and scale data functions from the ground up. With over 8 years of experience, I've architected enterprise data strategy for major brands like Dave & Buster's and GameStop and built entire analytics departments from scratch. As a hands-on, "player-coach" leader, my passion is partnering with C-suite executives to translate complex business challenges into a clear data roadmap. I thrive on mentoring high-performing teams and building the data infrastructure, governance, and insights that directly fuel revenue growth.
