What I'm looking for

I'm looking to apply business analysis, Power BI, automation, and AI workflow design to improve operations, turn stakeholder needs into measurable outcomes, and contribute to cross-functional transformation initiatives.

At Johelma, I gather stakeholder requirements, map operational processes, build KPI frameworks, and create Power BI dashboards that support consistent decision-making. I also assess low-code automation and AI-assisted workflows for feasibility and business impact.

My work combines business analysis, reporting, and cross-functional delivery, from contributing to approximately 10% revenue growth through marketing strategy to designing a transformation case for Bella Beauty spanning requirements, a TO-BE process, automation prototypes, KPIs, and a 90-day roadmap. Earlier, I coordinated multidisciplinary requirements at Gensler and led teams across sustainability, innovation, and volunteer programmes.
