What I'm looking for

I seek a role where I can apply analytics and IT systems expertise to automate reporting, improve RTM and sales performance, and lead cross-functional digital adoption within a collaborative, growth-focused team.

I am a Data and Systems Analyst with over eight years delivering analytics-driven improvements across Sub-Saharan Africa, blending technical proficiency in Python, SQL, Power BI and Excel with practical IT systems management.

I have led ERP and application rollouts, automated data pipelines that reduced reporting time from five hours to forty minutes, and developed dashboards and trackers that improved field efficiency and decision-making.

I combine hands-on IT leadership — network, security, and end-user support — with business-focused data analysis to enhance sales performance, RTM strategy, and operational efficiency, and I enjoy enabling teams to adopt systems through training and clear workflows.
