About

Upstream analytics and benchmarking specialist with experience in strategic consulting and competitive intelligence across global oil and gas operations. I specialize in transforming complex financial and operational datasets into meaningful insights that support business decision-making and competitive performance improvement. Technically, I leverage tools such as Power BI, Python, SQL, and automation frameworks, along with industry intelligence platforms like Wood Mackenzie Lens Upstream and Rystad Energy U-Cube, to analyze performance across international oil companies (IOCs) and identify improvement opportunities. I am recognized for clear communication, cross-functional collaboration, and a strong commitment to continuous improvement. I approach every challenge with a learner’s mindset and strive to translate complex data into insights that drive informed decisions and deliver tangible business value. Outside of work, I enjoy cooking, playing badminton, and reading about investment tools and strategies.
