My Journey in Data & Analytics Engineering
Commercial Data Enablement Manager
At Molson Coors, I’ve been helping connect the dots between sales, planning, and commercial operations — building the systems that let data guide everyday business decisions.
- Unified Data Architecture: I designed a unified data foundation that brought together market, POS, and performance data into one consistent ecosystem, giving commercial teams a clearer lens on how their decisions play out in the market.
- Sales Planning & Revenue Enablement: Partnered with planning and finance to reshape how revenue insights flow through the organization, helping teams focus less on reconciling data and more on responding to it.
- Supply Chain Visibility: Worked closely with supply planners to surface inventory signals earlier, creating smoother collaboration between customer operations and distribution partners.
- Pricing & Promotions Strategy: Supported the commercial and category teams in building frameworks that combine pricing elasticity insights with market intuition, helping them plan smarter promotions and channel strategies.
- Category Insights Platform: Helped design a data product that allows our category and sales teams to quickly assess product placement effectiveness, translating shelf performance into actionable insights.
Senior Consultant
At Deloitte, I learned how to weave together business context and technical depth — helping some of the largest retail and CPG organizations rethink how they plan, forecast, and operate.
- Planning Assessments: Worked with clients to map out how their planning processes connected across supply, finance, and merchandising, and identified where digital transformation could truly make a difference.
- Solution Architecture: Designed technical blueprints for connected planning systems that aligned business functions and enabled faster, more reliable decision-making.
- Prototyping & Demos: Brought ideas to life through functional demos and prototypes, helping clients visualize the end-state and gain confidence in their transformation journey.
- Integration Design: Helped design integrations between core systems like SAP, Oracle, and planning tools — creating smoother data flow across planning, pricing, and product lifecycle operations.
Consultant
Earlier at Deloitte, I worked hands-on with clients to modernize their supply chain and analytics foundations — from raw material planning to demand forecasting and product portfolio optimization.
- SKU Rationalization: Partnered with merchandising teams to analyze assortment complexity and help simplify product portfolios for better profitability and agility.
- Inventory Optimization: Built analytics solutions that connected planning data to operational dashboards, helping teams manage stock levels and replenishment more effectively.
- Demand Planning: Collaborated with cross-functional stakeholders to build forecasting workflows that aligned supply with consumer demand and reduced planning friction.
- Analytics Platforms: Created frameworks that merged data visualization with statistical forecasting, giving leadership teams visibility into the health of their supply and sales operations.
Senior Business Analyst
At Practo, I helped shape how healthcare providers understood the value of data in clinical and operational decision-making through an analytics platform built from the ground up.
- Data Platform Development: Led the design of a B2B analytics platform that connected patient and operational data, giving providers new ways to measure care effectiveness.
- Data Integration: Built the pipelines that connected Electronic Health Records to real-time dashboards, empowering clinicians and administrators with actionable insights.
- Performance Dashboards: Collaborated with stakeholders across 500+ facilities to create dashboards that brought transparency into physician and facility performance.
Business Intelligence Engineer
Wipro was where I first learned how data can shape enterprise decision-making. I worked across CPG and banking clients to reimagine how organizations measure and understand performance.
- FP&A Transformation: Helped redesign financial reporting processes, creating faster and more intuitive analytics capabilities for global finance teams.
- Marketing Analytics: Built statistical models that gave marketers clarity on what was truly driving consumer response across campaigns and channels.
- Operational Analytics: Developed systems that surfaced early warnings in IT operations, helping teams resolve issues before they impacted customers.
- Executive Dashboards: Partnered with business stakeholders to craft visual dashboards that translated complex data into simple, strategic insights for leadership.
