KenyaWhat I'm looking for
I am a Senior Data Analyst with 6+ years of experience transforming complex datasets into actionable product, financial, and operational insights across FMCG and technology sectors.
I design and deploy interactive dashboards (Power BI, Tableau, Looker), build forecasting and fund-flow models, and run experimentation (A/B tests) to inform pricing, product launches, and supply-chain decisions that improved margins and reduced stockouts.
I have led and mentored analyst teams, partnered with finance and operations to deliver measurable impact (gross margin improvements, cost reductions, market share growth), and foster data-driven cultures that enable self-serve analytics and scalable decision-making.
