Vice President, Statistics
As Vice President, Statistics, John develops the strategic vision of Alimentiv Statistics and manages its progress towards that vision. John joined McDougall Scientific in April 2008 as a senior statistician. As his tenure increased, he assumed several roles, including managing day-to-day operations, employees, and service delivery, running business development and sales activities and maintaining the computing infrastructure. These varying responsibilities prepared John for his role as VP when McDougall was acquired by Alimentiv in March 2021. John most enjoys bringing value to clients through leading-edge statistical designs and analyses and helping them leverage existing resources to improve their business processes. Following the lead set by Janet McDougall, he also gravitates towards mentoring the next generation of Alimentiv statisticians and managers.
Prior to joining McDougall, John was Senior Statistician at SAS Institute (Canada) where he taught statistics and programming and consulted with clients in health care, pharmaceuticals, retail, manufacturing, finance, and government. Prior to joining SAS, John was a Mathematical Statistician with the U.S. Department of Agriculture where he designed probability-based surveys of the U.S. agri-business sector. John was Chair of SAS Global Forum 2017, the annual conference of SAS users worldwide. He earned his Master of Statistics at North Carolina State University, Master of Science at Virginia Polytechnic Institute and State University, and Bachelor of Science at Penn State University.
