Now, I lead data, AI, ERP and FP&A strategy engagements at Decision Inc., translating executive priorities into transformation roadmaps, business cases and value-realisation plans. I've also supported Arch Re's OneStream reporting consolidation and delivered finance and planning transformations across retail, mining, insurance and financial services.
