About me

Hi! I'm Ben. I help people by providing them with the right information and tools, ensuring positive organisational outcomes. I am passionate about ensuring people can deliver.

I have always been an advocate for using good data to make great decisions. Recently, while working on a large transformation program, I was entrusted with delivering actionable insights to empower the program to plan and deliver on its goals. Seeing data in action and learning new skills, rekindled my passion for data.

I was then given the opportunity to study full time. This allowed me to formalise my skills and achieve the Google Data Analytics Professional certification.

Since, I have started to build a portfolio (below) to showcase my skills and capabilities. I have also outlined my ways of working, including samples of related documents I have created.

I am now seeking a role (Data Analyst | Insights Analyst | Reporting Analyst) where I can use my data analytics skills to help people deliver.
