Summary
With over 10 years of leadership experience at Sainsbury's, I've come to appreciate how a simple line on a graph can reveal more than words—often pointing the way to better decisions. Recently retrained in data analytics through an intensive bootcamp, I've built interactive dashboards in Power BI and Looker, developing the skills to turn raw data into insights that non-technical stakeholders can act on. Now looking to apply this blend of operational know-how and analytical thinking to help teams make smarter, more confident decisions; let’s explore how I can support that.
