I lead business analytics and BI teams to drive data-driven sales, pricing, and measurable growth.
What I'm looking for
I’m an experienced leader in business analytics and business intelligence, with 17+ years delivering data-driven solutions that achieve tangible growth and profitability. I’ve built global adoption of BI tools (200%+ uptake) and operationalized decision-making with automated sales intelligence, including self-service Data as a Service and global sales data quality frameworks.
Across my roles, I’ve turned analytics into strategy—improving pipeline hygiene, launching “NI/MOD Weekly Drumbeat,” and enabling teams with real-time, personalized sales dashboards across 50+ markets. I also bring pricing expertise, having developed predictive pricing controls that reduced decision-making time from 5 days to 4 hours and delivered strong profit and price uplift, while leading diverse cross-functional teams with a culture of continuous improvement.
