Dr. Ada Y. Barlatt, Ph.D. is the Founder and Chief Analytics Officer at OperationsAlly. She helps her clients discover and leverage insights hidden within their ESP data. She loves when her clients start to see their data is a representation of the real lives they impact (instead of just a bunch of numbers). When she isn’t working with clients, you could find her on a cruise ship (pre-COVID) or watching anime (post-COVID). She loves self-assessments, laughing and gluten-free baked goods!
