• Develop intuitive, action-oriented dashboards and visualizations that highlight key takeaways—not just numbers.

• Lead storytelling sessions and presentations with key leaders and stakeholders, communicating insights clearly and effectively.

• Build strong relationships across the business to stay plugged into evolving priorities and ensure analytics stay relevant and impactful.
