I have been working in the realm of business intelligence for over a decade, with an expertise across the SAP BusinessObjects BI suite, and then having ventured into developing dashboards and reports in Microsoft Power BI. I’ve had many years of experience in working on end-to-end implementations … from architecture and sizing, to installation, to security design and configuration, to universe development, and finally, to my passion … creative and innovative visualization development (particularly, dashboards that incorporate modern-day UI & UX standards).
I have always had a passion for providing innovative solutions and a track record for delivering well-beyond expectations. For over half a decade, I served as the North American SAP BusinessObjects SME within the DD&A (Digital, Data, & Analytics) practice at Accenture. I’ve been recognized by leadership and project teams for excelling in vision, creativity, product expertise, delivery, and for fostering a professional and collaborative working environment for the teams I have managed.
With over a decade of working with executives and directors in Fortune 500 companies, across a number of varying industries, my passion is to continue helping companies accelerate their growth, all while ensuring we maintain our focus on one priority metric … client satisfaction!
In addition to my passion for data visualizations, I also run a creative media and smart home solutions company, UpNext Studio. With my passion for technology and its ability to enable new, interactive, and immersive experiences, I love taking things from ideation and the art of that which is possible, to delivery and making ideas come to life.
