Maria Nelson
Research Director
I am a researcher on Gartner's Peer and Practitioner Research team for Midsize Enterprise CIOs. My job is to identify clients' most pressing problems, then provide advice on best practice solutions based on vetted insights from industry experts. My research uses mixed methods including semi-structured interviewing and survey data collection and analysis.
Previous experience
I managed a mixed methods research lab in the University of Pennsylvania Perelman School of Medicine's Family Medicine and Community Health Department. I oversaw the scientific integrity of a portfolio of over 40 funded research grants, including projects about COVID-19, end of life care, and predictive diagnostic machine learning tools.
