Bio
Dale Ramsey
I’ve worked very closely with Mary during the past three and a half years that we’ve worked together at Nielsen, and I can absolutely say that working with her has been a pleasure. She’s an incredibly hard worker with a strong analytical mind. She always goes the extra mile to deliver the high quality insights that clients expect to get from Nielsen. She’s incredibly collaborative and an awesome team player when it comes to tackling projects together as well. I’ve also worked on stretch projects with her outside of the research that we work on together for our clients, and in addition to delivering on client work she also does a great job in making our office a fun and rewarding place to get our jobs done! Last but not least, Mary’s the true definition of a leader. Her immediate team absolutely looks up to her, and so do the people that she works with laterally in other groups.

I had the pleasure of working with Mary while at Nielsen. Mary is incredibly bright and brings a breadth of knowledge and experience to any team she's a part of. Mary and I worked together on a large international project and Mary quickly became a vital member of the team offering leadership experience and an international perspective. I view Mary as a great team player as well as mentor and I would highly recommend her for any position.

Pilot44 enables brands to proficiently discover, pilot, and employ emerging technologies from across the global startup ecosystem. Going beyond traditional matchmaking, we have built an innovation lab that will allow brands to efficiently identify and "test drive” technology with startups. In order to optimize the steep ramp-up & learning curve that both startups and brands face with each partnership, we have brought together the resources and capabilities (technology, creative, project leadership) needed to actually deliver pilots quickly at scale.
