About

At Peel Hunt, my focus is on driving strategic initiatives that enhance operational efficiency and revenue growth, leveraging over 8 years in the financial services sector. With a proven track record of deploying BI solutions and process improvements, I’ve led projects that have realized significant cost savings and increased efficiency across various functions. The collaboration with senior stakeholders and external consultants has been instrumental in offshoring key processes, achieving substantial savings for our firm. My hands-on experience with Alteryx and Tableau has enabled me to automate critical financial reporting, reducing manual errors and significantly cutting down the time required for quarterly submissions. These initiatives have not only streamlined operations but also empowered the teams I work with to focus on high-value activities. My commitment to innovation and my quantitative development skills have been key in enhancing Peel Hunt’s market-making operations and contributing to our robust financial performance.
