Alex Kenan is a product manager at Mastercard focusing on transaction optimization. Previously, he was a Senior Analyst at Delta Air Lines in the SkyMiles loyalty program, focusing on data analysis and program strategy. He uses Python, SAS software suite, and Oracle Hyperion to build models of future customer behavior, creates consumer insight from past customer behavior, and performs ad-hoc analyses for frequent flyer population impact. He has also used Python to catch and prevent fraud in the SkyMiles program by identifying and blocking fraudulent redemptions and identifying hacked customer accounts. He taught himself Python after several university computer science courses in Java. He holds a Bachelor of Science degree in Aerospace Engineering from the University of Virginia and a Master of Business Administration from Emory University’s Goizueta Business School.
