Nathaniel Cohn

CONSULTING PARTNER, FINANCE

I lead Think Data Group's Finance vertical. As an alternative data expert with a background as an analyst and portfolio manager (including time at Goldman Sachs), I’m focused on providing investment and private equity firms access to alternative data sources and helping them capitalize on the value of their data assets. I understand the limitations of in-house advanced data resources and the landscape of solutions that advance fundamental data strategies.

Before starting my consulting practice, I was VP of North America and the Head of Data Partnerships at Exabel in New York, where I drove the US expansion of this early-stage SaaS analytics platform. I came to Exabel from Adaptive Management where I forged partnerships for this alternative data aggregator and solutions provider. I also spent seven years at GfK, a boutique alternative data research firm, leading the team that delivered data-driven insights to buy-side and corporate clients.

My professional experience and connections give me the ability to synthesize my client’s business challenges, adapt tech language for executive decision-making, and deliver data-driven results. I earned my BSEE from Tufts University, my MSEE from Columbia University, and my MBA from The Wharton School at the University of Pennsylvania.

You may not know: I’m interested in the details of how things work, and I started my career as an engineer.
