Summary
Rhys Kilian is a Lead Data Scientist with 11 years’ experience applying analytics, experimentation and optimisation to commercial problems across retail, FMCG and not-for-profit sectors. He has led field sales and revenue growth projects at L'Oréal, built RGM and A/B testing frameworks, and recently took on a leadership role at Australian Venue Co., driving data strategy and dashboard migrations to cloud platforms. At Movember he translated experiments and forecasting into tangible fundraising gains and productionised models on SageMaker, while earlier consulting at Kearney he delivered optimisation and ML solutions that uncovered substantial cost and revenue opportunities. Rhys combines hands-on model development with program-level stewardship of analytics governance, data literacy and infrastructure. He’s as comfortable designing price-elasticity tools and promotion ROI calculators as he is running workshops to align stakeholders on customer data strategy. Based in Melbourne, he blends engineering rigor from a combined Engineering/Commerce degree with a pragmatic focus on measurable business impact.
