@afolashadeadebowale
Business Intelligence Analyst turning complex data into clear, actionable decisions.
What I'm looking for
I’m a results-driven Business Intelligence Analyst with over 3 years of progressive experience in data analytics and business intelligence. I turn complex data into strategic insights using BI tools and analytics workflows that improve decision-making.
At PalmPay, I migrated manual Excel processes to QuickBI and integrated automation that reduced reporting time by 60%. I also designed a KPI framework that improved performance tracking and boosted operational efficiency by 25%, while collaborating across four teams to analyze performance data from 300,000+ POS terminals.
I’ve built systems that keep teams aligned with real-time outcomes—automating daily reporting via Google Sheets and Looker Studio for zonal, regional, and city managers. I’ve also developed and maintained a leads management system handling 5,000+ weekly entries, reducing processing time by 30% and improving conversion by 25%.
Beyond fintech, I’ve strengthened reporting and transparency in nonprofit and training settings, including building Power BI dashboards and data collection frameworks tracking 1,000+ beneficiaries. I’m especially motivated by mentorship and building data-driven systems that support both business growth and social impact.
