What I'm looking for

I am looking for a role that challenges my analytical skills and offers opportunities for growth in data-driven decision-making.

I am a Senior Data Operations professional with a strong background in data processing and analytics. Currently, I work at Nielsen-IQ, where I manage the onboarding process for data transfers and develop standard operating procedures to enhance operational efficiency. My role involves conducting training sessions for junior team members, ensuring they are well-prepared to handle business-as-usual tasks. I have a proven track record of utilizing automation tools like macros to streamline processes, significantly reducing manual effort.

Previously, I served as a Data Processing Specialist, where I led the acquisition and analysis of FMCG data for the Baltics region. My responsibilities included overseeing data quality and delivery, troubleshooting data issues, and conducting extensive data cleansing using advanced Excel techniques. My experience at PCBL Limited as a QA Executive further honed my analytical skills, where I utilized SAP and Excel for data management and ensured compliance with industry standards.
