From the very start, I was hooked on making things work better. My first job—a high school internship in a hospital’s IT helpdesk—started as filing paper faxes. But I quickly spotted bigger opportunities: I proposed a digital fax system, redesigned how data was entered, and used that data to streamline operations and onboard new hires. One project led to another, and I stayed for seven years, all while earning my degree.

That experience sparked a passion for using data to unlock efficiency. Over my career, I’ve sought out ways to dig deeper—going beyond surface-level metrics to find the insights that truly move an org forward.

Over time, I’ve also seen the same pattern repeat itself: most organizations know data matters, but the leap from “we should” to “we’re doing it” feels overwhelming. The idea of adding headcount or diverting resources from other priorities stalls progress before it even starts.

I started Krause Analytics to change that. We give organizations a clear, achievable path forward—whether that’s building analytics processes, setting up tools, advising leadership, or even helping to hire and structure their own teams. We meet teams where they are, making use of the tools they already have, while building for the scale they want.
