Experience working cross-functionally with Finance, Operations, IT, and senior leadership to translate analytics into recommendations, and advise on business data informed outcomes

Demonstrated impact in driving performance improvement, cost optimization, or strategic decision-making

Ability to simplify complex data into clear, actionable insights for non-technical stakeholders
