Cristina Buerbaum del Río

I’m a data analyst with a background in econometrics and experience across banking, consulting, and research environments. I turn complex datasets into clear insights by combining statistical analysis with practical business understanding, and I’m comfortable translating business needs into structured analysis and reporting.

At CITO Control Office Utrecht Rabobank, I served as a Data & IT Risk Advisor and helped drive reporting efficiency and data quality. I designed and automated a quarterly Operational Risk report by integrating data from multiple sources (Archer, Collibra), and I developed data validation rules to improve consistency within the RCF system. I also contributed to automation initiatives that reduced manual data handling while supporting cross-functional stakeholders in delivering accurate reporting outputs.

Earlier, I led analytical work in both industry and advisory settings. As a Junior Industry Analyst at ESOMAR, I led the Global Prices Study 2021 and built a pricing model that influenced strategic pricing decisions, while also developing dashboards to track engagement and pricing dynamics. In econometric and regulatory projects for TMT and financial sector clients at Deloitte Financial Advisory, I delivered econometric and regulatory impact analysis and supported C-level stakeholders with data-driven insights.

My research foundation strengthens how I model and automate data pipelines. As a Research Assistant at the Economic Analysis Division (AIReF), I developed macroeconometric models for fiscal forecasting and automated data ingestion from IMF/OECD APIs, reducing update time by ~80%. With an Msc. in Econometrics & Operations Research and a CRISC certification (2025), I bring rigorous econometrics and reliable reporting practices to every engagement.
