OneSearch

Experian, 2019 to 2020. Senior Product Manager.

Probabilistic search for business credit. OneSearch finds the right company from a messy name and address, out of millions of near-matches, and shows how sure it is. Part of Experian’s largest business credit portfolio, about $50M.

What I did

  • Owned OneSearch, which scores possible matches by likelihood so credit teams find the right company the first time. It raised business match rates about 3%.
  • Took DataShare, a COVID-era lending product, from 0 to 1 with the three largest U.S. lenders.
  • Delivered a migration that had stalled for years in 4 months, moving most customers and cutting search time in half.
  • Won the Social Innovation award at Experian’s 2020 global hackathon.

What happened

Experian reports OneSearch runs about 80% faster with up to 20% more exact matches, and the unit’s largest product line held 4% growth through the pandemic.
