Senior Data Analyst focused on business analysis, profitability, and executive-ready insights.

What I'm looking for

I’m looking for a role where I can turn data into business performance gains—automating reporting, building KPI dashboards, and delivering strategic, executive-ready analysis that improves profitability and operational efficiency.

I’m an Economist and Senior Data Analyst with a strong focus on business analysis, productivity, and profitability. I leverage advanced analytical and programming skills to extract, transform, analyze, and automate reporting—turning complex datasets into actionable insights for executive decision-making.

At Telecom’s Sales & Customer Service Department, I use SQL and BigQuery for data extraction and transformation, DAX within Power BI for deeper calculations, and Power BI plus Looker Studio to build interactive dashboards. I track KPIs in real time, optimize query performance, and deliver executive-level reporting and strategic recommendations that improve operational efficiency and support commercial and customer service goals. Earlier, I strengthened my financial rigor as a Controller (internal controls, financial reporting, budgeting, compliance) and as a Transfer Pricing Analyst at KPMG (economic analyses, OECD-aligned documentation, benchmarking, and support for audits/disputes).
