What I'm looking for

I seek a role that allows me to leverage data analytics to drive business performance and foster growth in a collaborative environment.

I am a seasoned Senior Business Analyst with a strong background in leveraging data to drive business decisions and improve operational efficiency. Currently, I lead analytics process improvements at Starsight Energy, where I develop strategic reports and collaborate with cross-functional teams to optimize performance across over 500 sites in West Africa. My expertise in financial modeling and statistical analysis enables me to create meaningful data visualizations and dashboards using Power BI and Excel, ensuring that management has the insights needed for informed decision-making.

Throughout my career, I have consistently demonstrated my ability to enhance forecasting accuracy and support robust financial strategies. My experience includes overseeing data warehouse maintenance, managing ETL processes, and integrating data from diverse sources using Python. I am passionate about using advanced analytical techniques to deliver actionable insights that align with organizational objectives. My commitment to excellence is reflected in my continuous pursuit of best practices in data management and visualization, which I believe are crucial for achieving business success.
