AUCKLAND CBD,NEW ZEALAND

Summary

I am an experienced decision science and analytics professional with 16 years of experience. After completing the Executive MBA, I joined a 1-year program where I was mentored by Baycorp Group CFO to build my executive leadership capabilities. My focus is on developing and implementing analytics strategies that enable organisational goals. I use lean methodologies to reduce the cost to deliver a solution and have previously delivered a data warehouse enhancement project quoted at $2m AUD for $300k AUD with no loss of benefits. I would like to apply my knowledge and skills to drive analytically based decision-making. I am passionate about combining smart technology solutions with the power of data science to create innovative, outside of the box solutions.
