Summary
Chris Garretty is a director of engineering based in New York with eight years of experience building and scaling data products and pipelines across political campaigns and commercial organizations. He combines hands-on engineering—optimizing Airflow DAGs, processing billions of records daily, and cutting warehouse costs—with strategic leadership, currently defining internal data product strategy and architecture at Bully Pulpit. His work has directly impacted the bottom line, from multi-million dollar profit improvements to $10K/month in cost savings, while mentoring small in-house teams and managing external contractors. Prior roles include pioneering New Hampshire’s first statewide absentee vote analysis dashboard and running large field operations, giving him rare domain expertise at the intersection of data, operations, and voter engagement. Trained in economics with a marketing minor, Chris brings a quantitative mindset and cross-functional communication skills that translate complex data systems into actionable outcomes. He’s as comfortable shipping production pipelines as he is aligning non-technical stakeholders to leverage analytics for real-world decisions.
