Jan. 2025I help organizations prove what works and eliminate what doesn't through balanced, rigorous testing and behavioral science. After years of building enterprise-scale testing frameworks and processing hundreds of experiments across Fortune 50 companies and innovative startups, I founded Cole Clarity to transform how organizations make decisions. Businesses need to find the sweet spot between quick thinking and validation. I partner with organizations to build testing frameworks that separate effective practices from costly assumptions, helping leaders move beyond gut feelings to evidence-based decision making.
