- Data Storytelling: Translate complex datasets and analysis into clear, compelling narratives that drive action, ensuring insights are accessible and meaningful for stakeholders with varying levels of data fluency.
- Impact Measurement: Develop and implement robust measurement frameworks, including test-and-learn approaches, to evaluate the success of business changes and ensure decisions are evidence-based and continuously refined.
- Championing a Data-Driven Culture: Advocate for data as a strategic asset, challenging assumptions and embedding insight-led decision-making across Content, Product, CRM, and Commercial teams.
