What I'm looking for

I’m looking for a BI Manager / Senior Data Analytics role in a stable, well-resourced team—where I can lead enterprise BI programs, build decision-making dashboards, and apply hands-on SQL, Power BI, Python, and applied AI to drive measurable improvements.

I’m a BI & Data Analytics Manager with 16 years of progressive experience across IT infrastructure, ERP deployment, and enterprise business intelligence. I lead BI programs, standardize KPI definitions, automate recurring reporting, and build dashboards for supply chain, operations, compliance, and business review insights.

I stay hands-on with SQL, Power BI, and Python—turning data into measurable outcomes, including predictive and computer-vision classification and AI-based compliance monitoring. I’ve also led cross-functional stakeholder delivery and completed a secondment as a Data Culture Consultant to drive enterprise analytics adoption and a data-first culture.
