## About

```text
At Sopra Steria, I advise clients on data strategy, ownership and governance for trusted analytics and AI. I delivered an accepted Microsoft Fabric Copilot PoC for LeTEC, validating answers to three business questions against executive reports in French and English.

Across telecoms, retail and logistics, I’ve connected data platforms and analytics to business decisions. At MTN Nigeria, I directed enterprise BI delivery and led customer offer analysis that contributed to a 35% increase in subscriptions versus the previous campaign; at Nike, I built Python demand models that improved recorded forecast accuracy by 29 percentage points.
