About Mitch Graves
Philosophy
Technical skills are just one piece of the puzzle. Where many analysts fall short is in identifying the most valuable problems to solve, communicating their insights clearly, and turning analysis into action.
My goal is to help everyone, regardless of job title or function, to think like an analyst. That means learning how to spot opportunities, structure your thinking, quantify impact, and communicate findings in a way that actually drives decisions.
Background
I'm a data scientist with over 8 years of experience across diverse roles, including data architecture, product analytics, and strategy. I specialize in breaking down complex systems and business problems to uncover insights that drive high-value, data-informed decisions. I like to get things done, stay curious, and keep communication simple, whether I'm working with engineers or executive teams. If you're looking for someone who can cut through the noise and help you use data in a way that actually makes a difference, you're in the right place.
I've helped health systems, startups, and enterprise software companies turn messy data into clear insights that drive action. Whether it's leading high-stakes reporting during a crisis, building analytics infrastructure from scratch, or partnering with executives to shape strategy, I bring a mix of technical depth, business intuition, and a bias for impact. My experience includes reporting to federal agencies during COVID-19, measuring clinical and financial outcomes at Virta Health, and driving product strategy at athenahealth, one of the largest healthcare software companies in the United States.
