About Kamini
Most organisations are investing in data but struggling to connect it to business outcomes. That's the gap I close.
I am a Fractional Head of Data & AI with 10+ years in data science and analytics across Swiss telco, Fortune 500 consumer health, and global supply chain environments. I work with companies to build data functions that move revenue and reduce costs, without the overhead of a full-time hire.
My track record includes generating CHF 5M in annual incremental revenue through customer segmentation and targeting, reducing customer attrition costs by CHF 2M through predictive modelling, and improving forecast accuracy by 20% across 11 EMEA markets.
I bring both the technical depth to build it — in Python, SQL, ML, and Azure — and the commercial perspective to make sure it matters. I work as an embedded fractional leader, owning the data roadmap, keeping the work connected to what the business is trying to achieve, and getting it done myself.
If your company is sitting on data that isn't yet paying off, that's exactly where I work best.
