Built and maintained a Center of Excellence for the Commercial and Customer Service teams around data visibility and business process automation for a $5.9 B revenue business division.Developed tools to increase data visibility to the Sales and Customer Service teams (supply chain, sales, orders, etc.) through ETL automation and data visualization tools (Power Platform, Alteryx, Qlik, etc.) to drive and enforce data-driven decision-making.Represented the business across multiple IT teams to build enterprise-wide unified datasets for invoices, orders, and shipments to have a single source of truth for all analytics teams.Example Projects:- Quoting App – Developed a desktop and phone application that calculates the price based on product criteria for Sales and Customer Service. Input data feeds to a repository for analytics and tracking quote wins for business insights to the Sales team. At the point of entry customers were emailed quotes to decrease turnaround time of quoting to win business. (Power Apps / Power Automate)- Daily Sales Reporting – Developed an automated dashboard at the request of Sales executives to track daily sales versus the output from the forecast data model. This daily reporting helps the Sales team to have visibility into what customers they should be focusing on due to not meeting their committed volume in the month to meet our budgeted sales. (Power BI / Power Query / SQL / Alteryx)- Sales Pipeline Reporting – Developed the first fully automated pipeline reporting tool utilizing Salesforce object connectors in the company. Increased data visibility to executive leadership about areas of opportunity to grow customer relationships and build opportunities into the allocated forecast. (Power BI / Power Query)
