In 2021, Melissa earned her M.S. in Data Science at the University of Wisconsin, Eau Claire, where she completed her capstone on operationalizing predictive maintenance on a network of distributed equipment. After using data to support executive network operations leaders at US Cellular Corporation through their 5G launch strategic plan, Melissa was prepared to step into people leadership herself. Peloton drew and developed on Melissa\u2019s leadership capabilities as the company quickly transformed from a pandemic household staple into an unstable turnaround in the years following. After she grew her team from 1 to 7 analysts and data scientists, she lost them all, and rebuilt the team from the ground up in 2023. Despite the backdrop of these challenges, her proudest achievements include leveraging activity-based costing to highlight &gt;$10M in cost optimization opportunities in US Cellular\u2019s network, and leading Peloton\u2019s data team to develop a device history model that saves millions of dollars cross-functionally. Melissa enjoys teaching others technical and adaptive skills necessary to be a success in the analytics field. Outside of work, she explores her city, Houston,TX, enjoys cooking and entertaining for friends, and routinely visits her hometown, Louisville, KY, for bluegrass and bourbon.<\/p>                    <\/div>\n                            <\/div><!-- .accordion-content -->\n        <\/li>\n        <\/ul>\n\n<\/div><!-- \/module accordion -->        <\/div>\n                        <\/div>\n        <\/div>\n                        <div  data-css_id=\"u6fe602\" data-lazy=\"1\" class=\"module_row themify_builder_row fullwidth_row_container tb_u6fe602 tf_w\">\n                        <div class=\"row_inner col_align_top tb_col_count_1 tf_box tf_rel\">\n                        <div  data-lazy=\"1\" class=\"module_column tb-column col-full tb_84q1605 first\">\n                    <!-- module text -->\n<div  class=\"module module-text tb_k572608 track  \" data-lazy=\"1\">\n        <div  class=\"tb_text_wrap\">\n        <h6>Track: Analytics Process<\/h6>    <\/div>\n<\/div>\n<!-- \/module text --><!-- module text -->\n<div  class=\"module module-text tb_xwmz608   \" data-lazy=\"1\">\n        <div  class=\"tb_text_wrap\">\n        <h2>Demystifying Analytics People Leadership: A Guide to Help You Attract and Retain Analysts Who Create Value for your Business<\/h2>\n<p>Analytics managers often need help transitioning from individual contributors to leaders.
