Strategy analytics manager at KPMG turning complex client data into Power BI dashboards for investment decisions.

I’m a data analytics and strategy professional with over 10 years of experience at KPMG, where I’ve led analytics initiatives, developed business intelligence solutions, managed cross-functional projects, and helped organizations turn complex data into actionable insights. My experience spans business strategy, operations, data visualization, and technology, with expertise in Power BI, SQL, Excel, and Alteryx. I’m interested in applying my skills in an industry that aligns more closely with my personal interests, including sports, gaming, entertainment, travel, food, and fitness. Outside of work, I enjoy exploring new restaurants and cuisines, traveling, learning languages, watching sports, gaming, and solving puzzles. I’m excited by opportunities to combine analytical problem-solving with my curiosity about businesses, products, and the experiences that connect people to the things they love.
