About me
Intro
I am a Business Analyst specialising in commercial performance and data-driven decision support. I design structured analytical solutions that translate complex datasets into clear, actionable business insights. My experience spans forecasting, KPI reporting, and performance analysis, combining SQL, Excel, and Python with strong commercial understanding to support strategic and operational planning. At Neoviews Ltd., I developed time-series forecasting models and scenario analyses to inform decision-making and performance benchmarking. Previously, I led a Lean optimisation initiative that reduced electricity costs by 30% through structured process and capacity analysis. I focus on delivering measurable impact — improving efficiency, strengthening reporting accuracy, and enabling data-backed business decisions. 📍 Based in the UK | Open to Business Analyst and Commercial Analyst opportunities
