What I do
Strategy, data and AI, from plan to delivery
Companies come to me in one of two situations.
Not sure what to do with data and AI
You want to build more on data and use AI, but do not know where to start. We work out where it makes sense, I prepare the plan and the project, and I stay with it through delivery.
You have a plan, not the delivery
You already have an idea, sometimes a specific project, and need someone to deliver it. I take over running the project and coordinate the internal team and vendors.
01
Data and AI
AI use cases
I identify use cases where AI on company data saves work, and deliver them all the way into production, for example conversational analytics over a semantic model. I also lead the development of smaller applications and business systems, from requirements and delivery to project and product management.
Data warehouses and platforms
I lead delivery and own the concept: what gets built, in what order, and why. I have led or contributed to projects on Microsoft Fabric, Databricks, Snowflake, Keboola and AWS, so I am not tied to one vendor or one solution.
Reporting and visualisation
Tableau and Power BI. I developed in them for years; today I lead the teams who build reports in them. I help companies choose the tool, design the reporting concept, set standards and governance, create a design system for dashboards and get reports adopted by users. More and more I bring in AI, both for building reports and inside the BI tools themselves.
Location intelligence
Location decisions backed by data. I uncover spatial patterns and help with site selection and scoring, entering new markets, finding white spaces or cannibalisation across a branch network. I combine client data with external and spatial data, including multispectral satellite imagery. My experience ranges from GIS in research to commercial property valuation.
02
Strategy and change
Growth and strategy
With leadership I name where the business is heading, what holds it back and which priorities come first. I run strategy workshops that end with a clear strategy, defined use cases, plans or goals.
Processes and transformation
I map how processes really work in the business, where manual work piles up and where things get stuck. I propose what to simplify or automate, including the use of data and AI. I help introduce the change so that people accept it: operating model, governance, roles and communication.
Team design and hiring
I design roles, team structure and the profile of the people the business needs, and help select candidates so the team runs on its own after the project.
People development
Coaching and mentoring for analysts, data teams and managers. I run training workshops and talks.
Since 2014
Experience
Because of confidentiality agreements, clients are not named, only the industries they work in.
Actum Digital, Manager
I work in roles such as engagement manager, project manager, BI leader or business analyst. I work on data platforms, reporting, AI solutions, data governance, operating model design, change management and strategic planning. This helps clients reach their goals. I lead a BI team of seven.
Deloitte, Senior consultant
On engagements I was a business analyst and BI leader, early on also developing in BI tools myself. I worked on data warehouses, platforms and reporting for clients and the internal organisation, for example internal reporting for the partner who led a 140-person consulting team in Central Europe, or a global data platform for a car maker.
Geomaniacs, Co-founder
Location intelligence. I worked on a project for a bank that set out to build a methodology for valuing commercial property. For an energy supplier I ran a spatial analysis of detractors, the dissatisfied customers. We worked with geodata, geographic information systems and Python.
STEM/MARK, Supervisor, project manager, data analyst
Market and public opinion research. Most projects were short, lasting a few weeks or months, some ran long-term. I ran a shift of around forty interviewers and was responsible for the quality of the data they collected. Alongside that I managed research projects and prepared questionnaires, and in the final years analysed data in SQL, Python and GIS.
Beyond client work
