What I'm looking for

I seek strategic operations or product-facing roles where I can lead cross-functional teams, scale processes, and apply analytics to drive measurable growth and operational improvements.

I am an MBA-trained business strategy and operations professional focused on driving data-informed growth and operational efficiency. I combine go-to-market experience, sales operations expertise, and product-minded thinking to solve complex commercial problems.

My background includes leading commercial bid management, sales operations, and marketing programs across multinational environments, where I delivered measurable results like 25% reductions in expenditure and 40% increases in operational efficiency. I build dashboards and analytics solutions to improve forecasting and decision-making.

I have experience shaping go-to-market strategy, managing cross-functional execution, and advising executive leadership with market and engagement insights. I am currently developing a business intelligence web app to bring accessible, no-code analytics to small and midsize manufacturers and logistics firms.

I prioritize collaborative leadership, process optimization, and practical analytics to translate data into action. I seek roles where I can lead strategic initiatives, scale operations, and build products or systems that unlock measurable business impact.
