What I'm looking for

I’m looking to lead business intelligence and growth strategy, partnering with leadership to turn data into operational excellence, measurable customer outcomes, and revenue growth—open to remote & hybrid roles.

I’m a Strategy and operations leader with over 14 years of experience helping organizations improve performance, optimize operations, and convert growth opportunities into measurable results across consulting, finance, technology, education, and public-sector environments. I combine analytical rigor with operational execution—diagnosing business challenges, designing scalable processes, and building data-driven decision-making frameworks that lift productivity, accelerate delivery, and support revenue growth.

In my current role as Head of Business Intelligence & Growth Strategy at Merignos Consulting & Mentoring Ltd, I lead BI and growth strategy across education and consulting platforms, turning engagement and learning-outcome data into decisions that improve customer experience and program performance. I’ve built executive dashboards and reporting to sharpen leadership decision-making, and I’ve delivered data-driven recommendations that lifted student engagement and course-completion rates by over 20%. Previously, as Chief Operating Officer at PureDeft International Company Ltd, I directed operational strategy and performance across multiple functions, improving organizational productivity by 15% and contributing to a 20% increase in market reach—by establishing systems, structures, and reporting that increased operational visibility and accountability.
