Short Bio:
I’m Kenny Soto, an analytical professional with a decade of experience turning performance data into structured business insight. My background spans marketing, insurance, fintech, and public sector operations, where I’ve managed six-figure budgets, built reporting systems, and improved workflow efficiency through automation.
Originally from New York, I’ve lived and worked in China and South Africa, and I’m now based in Oklahoma. After 10 years in marketing leadership and performance roles, I’ve transitioned into analyst-focused work: applying financial reporting, KPI tracking, and data analysis to help organizations operate with greater clarity and accountability.
If you’re a business owner looking to improve visibility into budgets, performance metrics, or operational processes, I’m always open to connecting.
Long Bio:
My career didn’t begin in analytics. It began in music theory at City College of New York, where I learned how structure, pattern recognition, and discipline shape outcomes. That mindset carried into marketing, where I spent the next decade managing budgets, building performance dashboards, and analyzing data across startups, fintech companies, insurance brands, and public sector initiatives.
Along the way, I’ve lived and worked internationally in China and South Africa, experiences that shaped how I think about systems, culture, and long-term decision-making. Today, I’m based in Oklahoma and focused on analytical work that sits at the intersection of finance, operations, and data.
In the private sector, I’ve managed and optimized six-figure budgets, conducted variance analysis, and built structured reporting systems that improved cost visibility and performance tracking. In the public sector, I’ve supported grant compliance, vendor oversight, and financial reporting for municipal programs. Across every role, the common thread has been this: turning complex information into decisions leaders can confidently act on.
After 10 years in marketing, I intentionally transitioned toward data and financial analysis because I was always drawn more to the numbers behind the strategy than the campaigns themselves. Today, my work centers on:
I used to host The People of Digital Marketing podcast for 4 years, which reflects my belief in continuous learning and professional growth. But my focus now is clear: helping organizations operate with precision, structure, and insight.
If you’re a founder, operator, or business owner looking for someone who understands both strategy and numbers and who can bring clarity to your financial or operational data, I’d welcome the conversation.
