Nathaniel Phillips is a Real World Healthcare Analytics consultant and team builder with 11 years of experience translating complex healthcare data into decisions that stick. Trained as an experimental psychologist (PhD) and fluent in R-driven data science, he shipped influential tools early in his career—FFTrees alone has been cited in over 150 scientific publications—before pivoting to scale impact by creating high-trust teams and operational frameworks. He has held roles from senior quantitative scientist at Flatiron and Roche to CTO and co-founder at Plinth, combining hands-on modeling with product and organizational leadership. Nathaniel’s rare strength is making intimidating technical ideas feel simple and urgent to clinicians, executives, and boards, which he’s demonstrated in journals, talks, and one-on-ones. Now based in Portland, Oregon, he’s focused on building teams that become indispensable by changing how organizations think about data-driven decisions.
