I am a highly versatile, business focused and enthusiastic Data Leader with transferable skills from multiple sectors.
With a foundation in Analytics, I've enjoyed managing established analysis teams of various sizes, plus building teams from scratch! I specialise in transforming ways of working to create high performing remote teams with motivated, dedicated and curious data analytics professionals who take ownership in collaborating with engaged stakeholders to consistently deliver tangible value.
* I empower teams to positively challenge and influence scope to gain context and profound understanding of business challenges, to answer questions head-on.
* I successfully shift perceptions of Data teams away from that of a service function, where interactions are transactional, to be seen as respected, knowledgeable business partners, equally invested in outcome.
* I blend principles of the SCRUM framework to learn and adapt my teams' approach and efficiently deliver highly complicated projects in increments, in a fast paced, fast changing industry.
The 3 principles at the core of my leadership philosophy:
1. Fostering intrinsic motivation
2. Focusing on the whole person
3. Encouraging and rewarding collaboration, support and collective accountability, not competition
