With more than 12 years of end-to-end business-intelligence delivery across Mining, FMCG, Telecommunications and Consulting sectors, this professional combines deep Microsoft BI expertise with robust SAP analytics capabilities. They excel in designing scalable data-platform solutions, having built and maintained enterprise data warehouses, OLAP cubes, and interactive dashboards for organisations such as a Major Retailer, a Beverage Company and a Healthcare Company.

Their adaptability across diverse domains ranging from mining logistics to beverages manufacturing and healthcare highlights a capacity to translate business requirements into actionable technical designs. Combining strategic vision with hands-on technical depth, they consistently deliver data solutions that enhance decision-making and drive organisational value.
