So you're looking for data help but you have no idea who I am...

Hi, I’m Ruben Ugarte.

I’m an educator, YouTuber, and advisor who helps product leaders turn messy data into confident decisions.

Over the past decade, I’ve taught hundreds of teams how to untangle their data, design smarter stacks, and build strategies they can actually trust. My workshops aren’t lectures, they’re hands-on sessions where we roll up our sleeves, answer your toughest questions, and create outcomes you can use the very next day.

You might be wondering, “Why listen to this young-looking guy from Canada?” Here’s why: my work has been featured in places like CNN and Fox Business, and I’ve helped over 100 organizations move from data overwhelm to data clarity.

If you’re ready to stop drowning in dashboards and start making confident, data-driven decisions, get in touch to run one of my workshops and let’s make your data work for you.

10 years in the industry, 100+ clients, 2 books

Every client I’ve worked with faced unique challenges within their data, but they all shared one central question: How can we extract more insights from our data?

Some wanted their teams to easily generate reports and dig for insights on their own. Others needed a clear understanding of where to focus their efforts to drive product growth. Many just wanted to feel confident when making decisions that impact their marketing strategy.

Time and time again, I’ve seen product teams overwhelmed by the complexity of their data. Despite having the right tools, they struggled to get the visibility they needed.

That’s where my expertise comes in. With over 10 years of experience in helping product leaders make sense of their data, I know exactly how to untangle the complexity.

What’s my specialty? Making data simple, usable, and teachable.

Before I began running workshops, I built my own startup. One thing that always bothered me was how little we understood our data. Without clear insights, we made avoidable mistakes and decisions that slowed our growth.

That experience shaped my specialty today: making data accessible to everyone. In my workshops, I take complex tools and translate them into plain language, practical frameworks, and hands-on exercises that anyone on your team can follow.

Instead of feeling lost in dashboards, your team leaves with the skills to see what matters, track the health of your product, and make confident decisions about where to focus.

Don’t just take my word for it, scroll down to hear directly from the teams I’ve taught, through written testimonials and video case studies.

We had tried to implement Mixpanel but struggled to get useful insights from the tool. Our team didn’t have much analytics experience. Ruben helped us create a comprehensive tracking plan for Mixpanel and Segment.com, enabling us to track users seamlessly across our web and mobile apps. He also worked closely with our development team to ensure the plan was implemented correctly, setting the foundation for a robust data stack.

Founder & CEO

Ruben helped us establish the right foundation for our Mixpanel data by creating a tracking plan and guiding our development team through the implementation process. This solid foundation in our data stack has made it much easier for us to dig into our data and answer key questions like, “What are the critical actions or attributes that lead our free users to upgrade to a paid tier?”

Ruben helped us design a data strategy that aligned with our short-term goals while laying a solid foundation for the future. While we had a deep understanding of how to improve our product, we lacked expertise in analytics and properly implementing tools like Segment.com and Mixpanel.

Working with Ruben has been crucial to our business. He began by auditing our Google Analytics setup and identifying critical issues that impacted our reporting. He then helped us organize our data and create core reports while addressing Google Analytics' sampling limitations. With Ruben's expertise, we gained a clear understanding of user behavior and how to present these insights effectively to our stakeholders, ensuring our data stack delivered real value.

Chelsea

We had an overwhelming amount of data at our disposal, but we struggled to transform it into something actionable for our business and valuable for our customers. Ruben helped us streamline this process by creating a data stack that provided meaningful insights for our business, vendors, and users alike. His expertise in turning data into clear, practical tools has been invaluable, and we’re certain we’ll work with him again in the future.

Ruben is, quite simply, a data guru and analytics expert. Extremely professional, highly knowledgeable, and incredibly helpful, he ensures your Mixpanel, Segment, or other tools are set up correctly. Trust me, it’s all too easy to make mistakes and end up with unreliable data, but Ruben makes sure your tracking is accurate and your data is in the best format for insights.

Simon

Growth Manager

Ruben not only answered all of my questions but also helped me uncover blind spots in our current data setup (the unknown unknowns). He worked with me to create an action plan for optimizing our implementation, ensuring we get the best return on our time. I’m extremely happy with the results.

David

Ruben consistently delivered beyond expectations, going above and beyond to provide value. As a serial founder, I know the importance of surrounding yourself with people who truly make a difference, and Ruben is one of those individuals. His expertise and support have been an incredible asset and a true blessing for our team.

Blair Ryan

VP Digital Operations

Before working with Ruben, we had several gaps in our data stack and lacked confidence in the decisions we were making. We needed an expert, and Ruben was a fantastic partner. He helped us optimize our tools, align our data, and achieve all the goals we outlined for the project. We’re very happy with the results.

Hunter Hillegas

CTO

Ruben was essential in helping us implement a fully functioning data stack within our company. Without an in-house data expert, we couldn’t have set up the system without his guidance. He started by auditing the metrics we were tracking and identifying the data we wished we had. Then, he helped us focus on the key metrics essential for our stage of growth. Finally, he designed an automated system to unify data from the many tools and platforms we use as a B2C company. I cannot recommend him more highly.

Chris Boas

Founder

We immediately saw significant buy-in across the organization and consistent usage of the reports Ruben helped us build. Our clients are thrilled with the valuable insights and actionable answers they’re now able to gain from their data.

Hiba Ganta

Product

Before working with Ruben, we had some data but not all the KPIs we wanted and needed. No dashboards, no KPIs. Ruben helped us with the planning, strategy, and implementation of our ata stack.

We have a much clearer picture of how our product is doing out in the market. So some of the numbers are just more of a confirmation of our feeling, but there are a lot of figures and then KPIs, which are more of a surprise that we didn't know.

Radan Dabetic

Product

Ruben helped us understand the weaknesses in our data stack and prepared a strategy that would allow us to solve these challenges and level up your decision-making capabilities. I would highly recommend Ruben to any company that needs an outside perspective on how to solve critical issues like hiring the right people and selecting the right technology.
