• Ensure compliance with enterprise governance and documentation standards.
• Drive migration from legacy reporting tools to modern BI platforms (e.g., Power BI).
• Reduce manual reporting and spreadsheet dependency.
• Balance execution speed with quality and scalability.
Team Leadership & Talent Development

• Raise issues proactively and clearly.
• Influence decision-making through structured narrative and visualization.
