Present findings in a way that drives decisions — not just awareness.
Build structured, repeatable analyses in Excel from imperfect and fragmented data.

Strong ability to take ambiguous problems and produce clear, practical answers without waiting for perfect inputs.
Sharp executive presence — you communicate findings clearly and concisely, and know how to read the room.
Experience working directly with business stakeholders to frame problems, not just fulfill requests.
