Description

I am an analyst with more than 20 years of experience driving insights out of data.

I am a very capable communicator, comfortable discussing detailed requirements with technical colleagues, as well as presenting and collaborating on analytical findings with business executives. I love detailed analytical work, but I also have management experience which really helps my understanding of analysis in the context of wider business goals.

I’ve been building interactive data visualisations in Tableau and Power BI for 10 years, including setting up automated data flows in Alteryx, Tableau Prep, Power BI and SQL when needed.

I have built and implemented many statistical models leading to improved business performance. My experience in this area includes churn modelling, RFM models (recency, frequency, monetary value), segmentation, market basket analysis and text analytics.

I prefer to work remotely but I am also happy to make office visits anywhere within reason.
