What I'm looking for

I am looking for a role that fosters innovation and collaboration, where I can leverage my skills in data solutions and Agile methodologies to drive impactful results.

I am a Product Owner with three years of experience leading cross-functional teams to develop innovative data solutions in fast-paced retail environments. My proficiency in Agile methodologies, SQL, and Jira has enabled me to drive significant improvements in customer insights and operational efficiency. I thrive in dynamic settings, leveraging my international background and adaptability to foster collaboration and achieve project goals.

At Asda, I successfully led two cross-functional squads through the full product lifecycle, championing Agile methodologies to deliver sophisticated data solutions. I took ownership of a customer mapping tool that provided a comprehensive view of customer data, enhancing business intelligence initiatives. My role involved facilitating stakeholder workshops, prioritizing backlog items, and ensuring effective product delivery through meticulous planning and resource coordination.

Previously, as a Data Product Consultant at Kubrick Group, I honed my technical skills in Python, SQL, and Tableau, mastering the art of translating business needs into high-value data products. My experience as a Business Executive at Insane Grain further developed my analytical and strategic skills, where I successfully secured national accounts that doubled projected revenue. I am passionate about driving innovation and enhancing customer insights through data-driven solutions.
