I have successfully negotiated contracts exceeding XAF 2M and have been instrumental in generating over XAF 10M in revenue growth through sharp data analytics and financial storytelling.

My experience includes developing KPI suites for SaaS clients, streamlining financial processes, and creating real-time financial dashboards using tools like Tableau and Power BI. I thrive on turning complexity into clarity, ensuring that every financial narrative is not only informative but also profitable. I am passionate about leveraging my unique synergy of data engineering and business psychology to drive impactful financial strategies.
