About

I sit at the intersection of complex data and executive decision-making. With 6+ years of experience in global financial services - most recently at Ameriprise Financial - I specialize in transforming fragmented data into enterprise-grade BI ecosystems that drive million-dollar investment strategies. My approach goes beyond building dashboards; I focus on Portfolio Governance and Financial Transparency. I’ve led large-scale implementations of PMO analytics frameworks that bridge the gap between "what happened" (Actuals) and "what’s next" (Forecasting), significantly reducing manual overhead and strengthening global cost optimization. Core Impact Areas: - Strategic Advisory: Partnering with Executive Leadership to translate analytics into actionable roadmaps for digital transformation and operational excellence. - Scalable BI Architecture: Building resilient, automated Power BI ecosystems (DAX, Power Query) integrated with SQL Server and Cloud (Azure) environment. - Portfolio Governance: Leading PMO analytics across global programs, managing variance analysis, and improving forecast accuracy in Agile delivery models. I thrive in globally distributed environments where data is the catalyst for business value. Tech Stack: Power BI (Advanced DAX/Modeling), Power Platform (Apps/Automate), SQL Server, Azure, Portfolio Management Tools (PMO).
