About

A reporting leader who speaks both data and business.

I started in KYC and compliance operations, where accuracy and audit-trail discipline are non‑negotiable β€” that grounding still shapes how I build every dashboard and report today. Over 12+ years I've moved from due-diligence processing into full-stack Business Analysis and Business Intelligence, translating messy financial and operational data into decisions leadership can act on.

I own the full chain: eliciting requirements from stakeholders, modelling and validating the data, building the Power BI/DAX layer, and governing the release through Change Management and Agile ceremonies β€” so what lands on an executive's screen is both accurate and on time.
