What I'm looking for

I seek a role that fosters innovation and allows for impactful data-driven decision-making.

With over 20 years of experience in financial management and data science, I have established a proven track record in budgeting, forecasting, and ERP system implementation. My expertise lies in financial reporting, business analysis, and automation solutions, which I leverage to deliver actionable insights through robust data-driven strategies. I hold a B. Comm Hons in Accounting and Finance and am currently pursuing a MSc in Data Science.

Throughout my career, I have excelled in transforming complex datasets into actionable insights, utilizing advanced data science techniques and machine learning to solve business challenges. My role as a Senior Data Analyst at Infosync Analytics has allowed me to implement analytic activities that support decision-making across multiple lines of business, while my previous experience as a Group Finance Manager has honed my skills in managing external audits and preparing consolidated financial reports. I am passionate about continuous improvement and staying updated on the latest developments in data analytics and financial management.
