He spent two years working as on air talent for ESPN and served as their Predictive Analytics Expert. His most recent book, “The House Advantage: Playing the Odds to Win Big in Business” was a business bestseller and draws on his unique experiences at the table and in the sports world creating a truly accessible work about business analytics.

Ma currently works at Twitter where he holds the title of Senior Director of Analytics, leading a team of talented Data Scientists, Analysts and Engineers with the goal to drive data driven decision making across Twitter.
