What I'm looking for

I seek a role that values data-driven decision-making and fosters collaboration.

With over 12 years of experience in business intelligence, I have honed my skills in analyzing and interpreting data to support growth and drive positive results. My journey has been marked by a commitment to streamlining processes and implementing analytical solutions that empower teams and enhance decision-making capabilities.

In my most recent role as a Business Intelligence Manager at OluKai, I designed long-term BI strategy and led the implementation of standardized reporting tools across multiple brands. My leadership of a talented team of data professionals resulted in the development of impactful Tableau dashboards and the maintenance of robust data warehouses. I thrive on transforming complex data into actionable insights, which was instrumental in planning a $100M business and improving forecast accuracy.

Previously, I served as a Business Analyst at Under Armour, where I standardized reporting processes and supported strategic planning for a $900M portfolio. My analytical skills and attention to detail have consistently driven successful outcomes, ensuring that cross-functional teams can make informed, data-driven decisions.
