Brandon Klyn

Director of Analytics & Decision Support

My personal mandate is to ensure that data is at the forefront of complex problem solving, distilled in a way that can be easily understood by decision-makers, and inclusive of the many voices impacted by it.

This mandate has played an integral part in my both my current and previous roles where I’ve gained skills in forecast and demand planning, supply chain management, project design and implementation, cross-functional team management, corporate strategy, analytical modeling, capacity building, financial management, data modeling, and visualization.

As Director of Analytics & Decision Support, I lead efforts around the efficient collection, use, and visualization of data to enhance key stakeholder decision-making.

Prior to joining Cooper/Smith, I worked as a Monitoring and Evaluations (M&E) Consultant with UNC Project in Malawi. There my responsibilities included aggregating meta data across studies, developing forecasting models to predict client visits and resource needs, capacity building, and evolving income generating strategies. I also coordinated the M&E efforts for an NIH-funded study evaluating ART safety and durability for Malawian mothers with HIV, during first and subsequent pregnancies.

Prior to this, I worked in corporate retail for Indigo, a chain of 233 cultural department stores in Canada, as a corporate strategy analyst and manager of real-estate analytics, as well as with Target Canada where my positions included: Senior Business Analyst and Supply Chain Expert.
