What I'm looking for

I seek roles where I lead data teams, build reliable data systems, and turn analytics into strategic decisions within mission-driven or growth-focused organizations.

I am a senior data professional with broad experience in data management, analysis and business intelligence across financial inclusion, mobile money growth and commercial operations. I lead data teams, design and implement data systems, and translate data into compelling stories that inform strategy and improve livelihoods.

My career highlights include leading data systems and privacy compliance, regional BI for agricultural finance, and pairing technical analysis (SQL, ETL, dashboards, predictive analytics) with operational leadership and process automation to drive measurable outcomes.
