What I'm looking for
I’m a Senior Business Analyst with 15+ years of experience documenting requirements, analyzing workflows, and optimizing processes. I’m a creative problem solver who translates complex requirements into clear business needs and helps teams deliver results on time and within budget.
I’ve led business analysis and strategy initiatives across multiple brands, partnered with executive leadership, and supported data-driven decision-making. I designed and implemented process improvements that reduced cycle times and increased reporting accuracy using SQL, MySQL, Power BI, and MS Access, while maintaining data reliability through strong liaison work between business and IT teams.
I also bring deep project and reporting expertise from multinational PMO engagements—improving reporting process times by 300% by combining SQL and VBA in Access, training global teams on tracking tools, and building KPI reporting frameworks that drive forecasting, accountability, and continuous improvement.
