Listening with an open heart, while the mind sharpened by scientific training searches for insight — that is what I do. Connecting to others in a meaningful way is what I believe in. Understanding how we feel, think, and live is the goal that drives my life-long study of the natural and social world.

Can you think of giving up customer centric structure to a third-party technology company and restrict your direct sphere of influence to running the back-end banking structure? Banks sit on vast amounts of structured data and if a technology company can combine this with vast amounts of unstructured data generated through social media interactions of customers, then it can be a win-win for all.

        I have had the pleasure of working with Anastacia on several cross-team collaborations over the past two years. When Anastacia leads an engagement, she sets clear expectations, maintains effective cross-team dialogue, and recognizes the efforts of all contributors. Anastacia also supports Quid's data product by suggesting changes that allow for more sophisticated analysis while improving client experience. In short, Anastacia's communication and analytical skills make her a great colleague. LinkedIn User
      
          



            
              
        
              
  

    
        Anastacia is a remarkably intelligent and ambitious person.  She has taken on some of the most complex and demanding projects at Quid, in areas where she had no previous experience, and produced results that have made significant impact to both revenue and product growth.  I saw her go from a physicist, fresh out of the world of academia, to a business strategist commanding the attention of high-power execs at some of the world's top companies, in a matter of months.  Anastacia is fearless in taking on big challenges and seemingly impossible questions.  In one case, literally achieving a quantitative-based prediction that both our client and I thought to be impossible.  I look forward to seeing what other impossibilities she turns into possibilities throughout her career.
