Director of Analytics building enterprise BI and forecasting capabilities, with $2M in annual loss prevention.

As Director of Analytics, I established and scaled an analytics function with enterprise dashboards, KPI frameworks, and reporting applications. I lead a 10-person cross-functional team and advise the President and Finance leadership on budgets, revenue projections, and freight and margin scenarios.

I helped prevent approximately $2M in annual losses by diagnosing billing discrepancies and redesigning financial controls. I also enabled $2.5M in receivables recovery through aging dashboards and targeted account monitoring.

Earlier, as a Senior Data Analyst and Data Analyst, I built SQL, Python, Tableau, and Excel models and dashboards for financial performance, forecasting, and contract compliance. I’ve also designed automated analytics and AI-assisted workflows that reduced manual workload by approximately 25%.
