Christian Entezari

Christian Entezari is Co-Founder and Managing Principal of Entezari Management Consulting, where she leads the firm's Data and Decision Intelligence practice. Her career has been built at the intersection of complex data and high-stakes decisions, leading modeling and research efforts across political campaigns, statewide ballot initiatives, advocacy organizations, and nonprofits where the margin for error is small and the clock is public.

Before founding EMC, Christian served as Managing Director of Data and Analytics at Street Level Strategy, where she built the firm's targeting and research practice from the ground up, and at the California Charter Schools Association, where she translated data into legislative strategy and community organizing impact at scale. She has directed polling research, designed executive decision frameworks, and advised leadership teams across some of California's most consequential policy and political environments.

Her talk, "When the Clock Is Public," draws directly on that experience, arguing that analytics done under public scrutiny is a distinct discipline with its own techniques, tradeoffs, and failure modes. Christian brings to this session not just the frameworks, but the real decisions behind them.

Christian is based in Los Angeles and works with clients nationally. In her free time, she enjoys traveling the world with her husband and son.
