𝗗𝗮𝘁𝗮 𝗥𝗲𝘃𝗼𝗹𝘂𝘁𝗶𝗼𝗻𝗶𝘇𝗲𝘀 𝗦𝗽𝗼𝗿𝘁𝘀 𝗙𝗶𝗻𝗮𝗻𝗰𝗲 In the football season 2023 - 2024, I've completed seven roles across The Premier League and EFL. And not once was I asked to screened against a candidate's traditional accountancy expertise. Spreadsheets are no longer enough. Data analytics is transforming sports finance professionals into business-wide strategists. ⚾ 𝗠𝗼𝗻𝗲𝘆𝗯𝗮𝗹𝗹 - 𝗢𝗳𝗳 𝗧𝗵𝗲 𝗣𝗶𝘁𝗰𝗵 ⚾ While data-driven player evaluation is a game-changer, the impact goes beyond the field.

🚀 Midway Through Month Four: My Insights Analyst Journey at Britvic Three and a half months have flown by since I transitioned from a Business Analyst to an Insights Analyst. I’m delighted to share that Shoba Sairam, our Director of Data and Analytics, has given the nod to my successful probation. Diving into Data Analysis It’s been an exhilarating journey, immersing myself in tools like Excel, Power BI, Alteryx, and even machine learning with Python. Additionally, I’ve familiarised myself with Tableau and have been systematically building a solid foundation in Python and SQL through Codecademy’s Data Engineer path. The thrill of automating processes, such as Excel sales reports and Power BI dashboards, has been a constant source of motivation. A Milestone Weekend This weekend marked a new milestone. My line manager Matthew Heywood tasked me this Friday with conducting his insights presentation and making the necessary modifications for a session next week with stakeholders of a major retailer in Ireland. The challenge extended beyond technical analysis; it was about extracting meaningful insights from the data and telling a compelling story. It has been challenging and inspiring for me, and I have realised that this is the area where I need to spend more time developing. Insight Versus Observation Over the past three months and half, I’ve improved my understanding of what constitutes an insight. A statement such as “Drink sales increased by 5% due to a promotion” is not actually an insight. An insight involves more than that; it’s about understanding the context and determining whether these findings align with our expectations. Observations are important, but they are just the beginning. The Path Forward As I reflect on my time at Britvic, my commitment to delivering value to our insights team and wider data analytics has never been stronger. While I’ll continue to enhance my analytics and automation skills, I’m also focusing on deepening my understanding of our soft drinks business and further developing my ability to derive more valuable insights and craft compelling data narratives that drive impactful decisions. #Britvic

A day in my life as a business analyst/ consultant for a company that offers educational services (Has products, courses students take and services they render) Had a business analysis session with one of my clients I'm so excited as I share the remarkable progress one of my clients has made since our first strategy session in 2022. After implementing the tailored plan, they achieved outstanding results: 1. 30% Increase in Sales: The two core products launched in the first half of 2023 experienced a significant surge in sales, exceeding expectations. ((This product was identified in the strategy session of Dec 2022) 2. 65% Boost in Course Completion Rate: Compared to 2023, the course completion rate increased by 65%, demonstrating improved engagement and student satisfaction. 3. 80% Sales Closure Rate: From 5,400 customer inquiries, an impressive 80% resulted in sales, with all becoming returning customers. (I deployed a channel for data collection to track and properly record customers enquires to increase customer satisfaction, retention and return rate) You know the highlight Can you guess?
