Data & Business Analyst turning complex data into actionable insights for financial services.
What I'm looking for
I’m a Data Analyst & Business Analyst with 11+ years of experience across financial services, pension administration, business intelligence, IT, and process optimization. I turn complex datasets into actionable insights that stakeholders can use to make faster, better decisions.
In my recent roles, I’ve delivered measurable impact—improving pension benefit validation and computation accuracy by 70%+, designing automated dashboards that reduced manual reporting by 40%, and improving reporting reliability by 30% through ETL and data consistency work. I also presented insights to support management decisions on client payouts and compliance improvement.
I combine analytics with stakeholder-focused delivery. I gather requirements, document BRDs and user stories, build KPI frameworks, and create self-service analytics that reduces ad-hoc requests (60%) while translating complex data into simple visuals for non-technical teams. I’ve also led workflow streamlining to reach 100% compliance and strengthened customer outcomes (95% retention).
I’m energized by building pipelines, automating refreshes, and using SQL, Power BI, Python, and DAX to produce dashboards and reporting systems teams can trust. My approach is disciplined analysis, clear communication, and continuous improvement of accuracy, efficiency, and customer experience.
