What I'm looking for

I seek a role that values innovation and offers opportunities for professional growth.

I am the founder and director of GRG Analytix, a company I established in 2018, where I provide innovative data analytics solutions.

My journey has equipped me with a deep understanding of both quantitative and qualitative research methodologies, allowing me to deliver high-quality results for my clients.

Throughout my career, I have successfully managed numerous projects across various sectors, including multi-country studies for major brands like The Coca-Cola Company and Vodafone UK. My role involves not only technical data analysis but also engaging with clients to ensure their needs are met and insights are effectively communicated.
