Client Testimonials

Don't just take my word for it - here's what clients say about working with me

"
$8.8M revenue impact • 20.7% win rate • 387 successful AB tests
Sophian has been instrumental in driving systematic revenue growth for our educational e-commerce platforms. His High Velocity Wins The Game approach to launching many small AB tests, all while planning for more complex experiments, delivered $8.8M in measurable revenue impact through 387 successfully launched AB tests, achieving a 20.7% win rate that significantly exceeded industry benchmarks.

What sets Sophian apart is his rare blend of strategic thinking and results-driven execution: he doesn't just analyze, he delivers. He developed a comprehensive testing roadmap while maintaining consistent monthly test launches, including breakthrough seasonal optimizations during our critical Back to School period, generating $3.1M incremental revenue in 2024.

I also like how he would nudge me and my colleagues to do more testing for success; that means he acted like a partner and not a vendor! Sophian's systematic approach to experimentation and his ability to translate testing results into clear business impact made him an invaluable partner in our optimization efforts.
