NigeriaWhat I'm looking for
I've spent over a decade diving deep into data and finding ways to make it work for businesses. I'm currently working as a Data Analytics Manager, which basically means I'm the go-to person for wrangling all that data magic.
I get to dig into complex business challenges and figure out how we can use data to solve them. Whether it's optimizing operations or boosting customer satisfaction, I'm all about finding those actionable insights that drive decision-making.
From Fivetran to BigQuery, Tableau to Google Looker Studio, I'm constantly exploring new ways to transform, visualize and make sense of data.
Having the right combination of tools, data, and people, while necessary, is usually not enough. I believe a strong data-oriented culture is the key that supports and guides good analytics.
