What I'm looking for
I am a Senior Data Analyst with extensive experience analyzing software and cloud markets across EMEA and Africa, delivering data products and market insight to regional and global stakeholders.
At IDC I managed core software and cloud data products — Trackers, Spending Guides and Blackbook — and modeled new data and visualizations to inform strategic decisions.
Previously, I built reports and dashboards in Looker Studio, Looker and Power BI, developed machine-learning models for operational planning, and supported sales forecasting and customer insights at Dimension Data and Sama.
I work collaboratively across functions, provide thought leadership on African software and cloud developments, and continuously improve data processes, policies and tools to increase visibility and drive actionable outcomes.
