Business intelligence leader at Workday who standardized 50+ KPIs and advanced self-service analytics.

At Workday, I lead a global team of 8 analytics engineers and guide the multi-year BI roadmap and governance model. Standardized agile practices improved sprint productivity 20%.

I founded cross-functional BI Guild councils to bring 100+ overlapping dashboards under shared standards. I also advanced a self-service analytics strategy, migrating 50+ business-critical reports to Workday and Sigma as executive adoption of standardized dashboards increased 40%.

As Manager, Business Intelligence, I scaled the team from 3 to 8 and directed delivery of 100+ BI solutions across 4 business units. I built the BI function’s first data governance framework with Data Engineering and standardized 50+ core KPIs.

Earlier at Workday, I built and launched the Services Manager Dashboard and led Workday Analytics implementations for Education & Government clients. I’m pursuing a Doctor of Business Administration at Indiana University, Kelley School of Business, with a research focus on organizational strategy and AI adoption’s impact on enterprise platform fragmentation.
