Summary
Mathew Thomas is a Director of Data Analytics with 14 years of experience turning complex data into actionable insights and scalable reporting solutions. At TIAA he has progressed from analyst to director while leading migrations from Teradata to Snowflake, building ETL health dashboards, and establishing governance and data dictionaries that improved reliability across large teams. He blends hands-on engineering—ETL design, DB administration, automation—and people leadership, coaching analysts who support reporting for more than 1,500 employees. Mathew has a track record of delivering measurable impact, from a forecasting model that achieved a 7.6% MAPE to automation that recovered 1.6 FTE, and he’s comfortable owning projects end-to-end. With an engineering management master’s from Duke and a background in software development, he brings both technical depth and operational rigor. Outside work he channels discipline into Shotokan karate as a brown belt, reflecting the same focus he applies to analytics challenges.
