About Information

I’m a Data & Analytics Manager with 20+ years of experience building systems that turn complex operational and infrastructure data into clear, actionable decisions.My background sits at the intersection of data, infrastructure, and strategy. I’ve led the design and implementation of enterprise data platforms integrating SQL, GIS, and business intelligence tools like Power BI to support large-scale asset management and long-term investment planning. A key part of my work has been enabling organizations to move from fragmented data to structured, trusted information—supporting executive decision-making, budget allocation, and performance tracking across infrastructure networks.

I bring a combination that is often hard to find:

Strong technical depth (data platforms, BI, governance)
Leadership experience managing teams and cross-functional stakeholders
Real-world application in infrastructure, asset management, and regulated environments

My focus is simple: build data systems that don’t just report the past—but actively guide future decisions.

Currently open to opportunities in:

Data & Analytics Management
Business Intelligence Leadership
Infrastructure / Operations Analytics

Interests

Mountain Biking

For me, Mountain biking is a mix of challenge and escape. Each ride tests your grit on rocky climbs, rewards you with flowing descents, and lets you breathe in crisp, wild air. It’s not just a workout, it’s a mental reset, a way to push limits, and a reminder that nature’s beauty is the best reward.

Photography

I enjoy outdoor photography because it creates the opportunity to explore the beauty of nature and capture its essence through the lens of a camera. It forces you to slow down, to sit quietly and to observe.
