About

Most companies today are sitting on years of transaction history but still can't answer a basic question: which customers are actually worth the most, and why do they stick around? As a Partner at Chameleon Collective, Vu Pham specializes in turning raw transaction data into a clear picture of customer value — who's driving revenue, who's at risk of leaving, and what separates the two. With over 25 years of experience, Vu combines rigorous behavioral analysis with real business judgment. His approach starts with cleaning and reconciling messy historical data — the unglamorous work that most analyses skip — then builds customer lifetime value models and segmentation that hold up under scrutiny. He's guided budget planning, revenue forecasting, and acquisition strategy off the back of this kind of work, always keeping the model grounded in what leadership can actually act on. Vu's true "superpower" is data storytelling — turning a spreadsheet of purchase histories into a narrative that tells a brand exactly who their best customers are and how to find more of them. As a former Data Science instructor at Mercer University and General Assembly, he's skilled at handing this analysis off in a way non-technical teams can maintain long after the engagement ends. Whether modeling lifetime value from scratch or auditing years of transaction data to find the signal in the noise, Vu's goal is the same: replace assumptions about "who our best customer is" with an answer backed by data. When he isn't deep in customer data, Vu is likely exploring the world — he's traveled to 64 countries (and counting), always seeking a new perspective.

Role

Data Scientist - Marketing Analytics & Attribution

Most companies can tell you how much they spent on marketing last month, but not which dollars actually drove results. As a Partner at Chameleon Collective, Vu Pham specializes in closing that gap, building the analytics and attribution infrastructure that shows leadership which channels, campaigns, and audiences are worth the spend. With over 25 years of experience, Vu brings the technical skill to pull together data from a fragmented marketing stack and the judgment to build attribution models that hold up to scrutiny rather than confirming what a channel manager wants to hear. His work spans granular ad-spend reporting to audience-level behavioral analysis, always built around one question: where should the next marketing dollar go? Vu's superpower is data storytelling, turning a spreadsheet of impressions, clicks, and conversions into a clear recommendation leadership can act on immediately. A former Data Science instructor at Mercer University and General Assembly, he is especially effective at explaining attribution concepts to marketing teams who need the "so what," not the methodology. Whether building real-time spend dashboards or auditing channel-driven audience growth, his goal is to replace guesswork with a defensible answer.
