What I'm looking for

I seek analytics-driven strategy roles where I can lead cross-functional teams, apply data engineering and modelling skills, and drive sustainable, measurable business impact.

I am a purpose-driven MBA candidate and former strategy consultant who translates complex data into practical strategies that drive sustainable growth and measurable impact. I have delivered analytics-based financial models, churn-reduction frameworks, and a proprietary fraud-detection engine while leading data teams and optimising ETL and BI processes.

My work blends technical data skills (SQL, PySpark, Python, Power BI) with stakeholder engagement and cross-functional leadership to improve ROI, reduce churn, and enable data-driven decision-making. I seek roles where I can combine sustainability-focused strategy, analytics, and collaborative leadership to build principled, profitable businesses.
