@abigaelcherotich
Research, M&E, and data analytics leader translating evidence into real-time decisions.
KenyaWhat I'm looking for
I am a Research, Monitoring & Evaluation (M&E), and Data Analytics professional with 6+ years of experience delivering impact evaluation, market research, customer insights, and data-driven decision support across consulting and international research environments.
I manage end-to-end quantitative and qualitative research projects for global organizations and private sector clients, and I focus on translating complex data into actionable insights, performance reporting, and strategic recommendations.
At Dalberg Research, I designed automated analytics and reporting systems using Python, Power BI, Tableau, and R Shiny, reducing reporting turnaround by 40% and improving stakeholder access to real-time insights. I also built real-time dashboards (including Looker, Tableau, Excel, and Power BI), implemented data quality assurance frameworks that reduced inconsistencies and coding errors by 30%, and strengthened survey data capture through logic checks and validation rules using SurveyCTO and Decipher.
Before that, at NielsenIQ, I created automated KPI dashboards in Excel and Power BI, led market research and customer insight studies, and built analytical workflows using Python that reduced reliance on external analytical vendors and lowered analysis costs by 25%. Across roles, I combine rigorous analytical methods with emerging productivity tools, including selective AI-assisted workflows, to improve efficiency without compromising data integrity or research quality.
