  • Proficient in modern data ecosystems (SQL, BI tools like Tableau/Power BI, data platforms like Snowflake) and can articulate how to scale self-service analytics while ensuring data trustworthiness.
  • A strategic operator who can manage OKRs, budgets, and delivery tracking, with a track record of aligning data investments to business priorities and maximizing ROI.
  • A change agent who can evangelize AI-first thinking, from identifying automation opportunities to embedding AI insights into daily analytics workflows.
