Data platforms, analytics and the customer behind the numbers

I design and deliver scalable data platforms, analytics and BI solutions that turn complex data into actionable insight for strategic and commercial decisions.

Overview

My experience spans financial services, insurance, retail and e-commerce, combining technical data expertise with customer, marketing and digital analytics.
