Brian Rice is an AVP of Data Engineering with 17 years of cross-functional experience building data platforms, analytics, and revenue intelligence for enterprise and mid-market companies. He blends an engineering mindset from a mechanical background with hands-on analytics engineering—DBT, BigQuery, Looker/LookML, and CI/CD—to deliver reliable semantic layers and self-service analytics that drive business decisions. At Beam Benefits he redesigned attribution and forecasting pipelines, improving deal-value accuracy by 85% and uncovering material revenue issues, and now leads data strategy at Safelite. He’s equally comfortable translating complex finance and sales needs into reproducible warehouse logic and training teams to use it, having upskilled and managed analytics teams and delivered global trainings at Mettler-Toledo. Curious about languages, systems, and interfaces as humanitarian concerns, he focuses on making data understandable for general audiences through visualization and authoring. Based in Westerville, Ohio, he brings a pragmatic, cross-disciplinary approach that turns messy source systems into trusted, decision-grade insights.
