Scott Schlesinger joins PA Consulting to lead US Data and Analytics team

Scott is a results-oriented technology executive and a recognized thought leader, speaker, and author. He has held several senior leadership positions with major systems integration and consulting organizations.

Organizations that use data effectively have a clear advantage when it comes to improving operational performance, driving revenue streams, identifying new markets, understanding customers, managing profitability, cutting costs and monitoring risk. Recently PA’s data and analytics teams built a national pediatric data registry to improve children’s health for the American Academy of Pediatrics, predicted the spread of COVID-19 to safeguard Unilever’s global ecosystem, and co-developed a platform to enable better food buying decisions for food data start-up TeakOrigin.

John Cala, Head of Americas at PA Consulting, says: “I’m delighted to welcome Scott to the team. He has a long track record of success, helping clients make better, faster and more informed decisions by leveraging business intelligence, analytics, AI and data management technologies. PA’s diverse team of data analytics and business intelligence experts make it possible to extract value from the vast amounts of data our clients hold and create opportunity from complexity.”
