Summary
👤
Senior🎓
Top SchoolBen Hanowell is an anthropologist-turned-people-analytics leader with 11 years of experience applying quantitative modeling and ethnographic insight to workforce problems, currently directing People Analytics Research at ADP. He leverages ADP’s massive HCM datasets to produce public- and client-facing labor market research and leads a Data Lab that turns complex models into interactive visual stories. His work spans industry and academia—from Amazon and Redfin to teaching demography at the University of Washington—and has been supported by NSF, NICHD, and a Fulbright. Known for building novel indices and causal models (from senior housing price/demand indices to attrition forecasts for gig drivers), he blends rigorous Bayesian and causal methods with pragmatic product-minded delivery. Based in Seattle, he brings a rare mix of field-based anthropological perspective and scalable data science to inform better people decisions.
