About

Winston Underwood

I'm a dad, a data science leader, a marketer, and an amateur general contractor.

At Allstate, I lead a team of marketing data scientists focused on driving measurable performance improvements by optimizing our digital media programs. Before that, I worked at Root Inc and Nationwide Insurance, doing everything from media buying to machine learning operations.

Outside of work, I enjoy working with my hands on residential construction projects, particularly electrical and drywall. When I need a reset, I like backpacking in the last remaining pockets of the country that still don't have cell service. But above all, most of my time is spent raising two boys as best as I can.
