Analytical business management graduate skilled in strategy, data analysis, and consulting.
United KingdomWhat I'm looking for
I am a First-Class BSc Business Management graduate with hands-on experience in consulting and HR analytics. I combine structured strategic thinking with practical data skills to deliver actionable recommendations for organisations.
At Queen Mary University of London I led a five-person cross-functional team in a competitive business simulation and analysed datasets of 10,000+ records to build KPI-driven Excel dashboards that informed managerial decisions.
In consulting I conducted organisational analyses of 20+ potential clients, created client-focused presentations and Excel models, and autonomously drove deal-sourcing activities while meeting tight deadlines. In HR I managed recruitment for strategic roles, conducted 50+ structured interviews, and built dashboards that improved recruitment efficiency by 15%.
I prioritise rigorous, evidence-based decision-making, clear stakeholder communication, and ethical judgment; I deliver executive-ready outputs that translate complex analysis into practical, implementable solutions.
