About Us
Derek Gibson has spent most of his career in business analytics with a major financial services company providing support for business strategy and decision making. Through his 20+ year career, Derek has built expertise from back-room operations to the front office, with experience in banking, retirement, trust operations, finance, marketing, and client analytics. His analytics specialty is bringing together people, business knowledge, consumer behavior and applying data science to discover opportunities. He is a leader of client analysis with a focus on delivering client insights influencing the business by using advanced statistics to discover the undeniable trends and patterns of customer behavior. Throughout his career he has seen it all when it comes the application of data and has particular insights about how data drives decisions both inside companies and in our everyday lives. Data can be messy and at times appear to have a life of its own, since without good curation and skepticism even the best data professionals can be misinformed by data. Derek also serves on the Wake Forest University MS Business Analytics advisory board, and has taught as an Adjunct Professor of Data Analytics and Business Models. He is a frequent speaker to the next generation of data scientists on the trends and needs in the business world.
