What I'm looking for
I am a Market and Financial Analyst with over a decade of experience in strategic market intelligence, business research, and data-driven reporting. My career has been marked by a proven ability to conduct interviews with key industry stakeholders, gather primary and secondary insights, and support decision-making processes through analytical modeling and actionable insights.
Throughout my professional journey, I have thrived in fast-paced, multicultural environments, leveraging my excellent communication and research abilities in English, French, and Hebrew. My recent role as a Market Analyst at Softcom allowed me to create detailed Excel-based models for market sizing and segmentation, delivering insight reports that outlined strategic opportunities and risks to senior leadership.
In addition to my analytical skills, I have a strong background in business research and industry analysis, having worked with Ingram Micro to track key product categories and pricing fluctuations. I am passionate about using data to drive business decisions and am always looking for ways to enhance my skills and contribute to impactful projects.
