Bio Summary

I strive to deliver the most satisfactory and timely results to my clients through a pragmatic approach.

I strongly believe that clients can benefit the most from a data-driven decision-making. If the data is not available, I like to propose ways to capture information in a timely and cost-efficient manner. 

I have a strong attention to details since I live by the moto "The devil lies in the details".

I also have a strong capacity to acquire knowledge fast with a thirst for new knowledge at every step along my short stay on this Blue Marble.
