Demonstrated analytical capability and experience translating multiple sources of data and business inputs into actionable recommendations.

Strong communication and collaboration skills; ability to present recommendations concisely to cross‑functional partners and gain support for consensus plans rooted in data and assumptions.

Experience using quantitative and qualitative data analysis to identify root causes, develop corrective actions, and drive KPI improvement.
