Commercial Analytics Engineer · Berlin

Commercial context.
Clearer decisions.

I turn messy commercial questions into trustworthy data products, useful analysis and practical action.

Business question → data signal → decision

A practical approach

From question to signal

01 / 04

01 / Positioning

I bring the commercial
question with me.

My move into analytics builds on 10+ years in e-commerce and retail. Buying, merchandising, assortment planning, supplier negotiation and trade performance taught me to look for the decision behind the metric.

Now I pair that judgement with SQL, data modelling, ETL, BI and Python: organising and sense-checking data, investigating changes, and communicating clear findings to technical and non-technical stakeholders.

04 / How I work

A dashboard is
not the finish line.

The useful part is the connection between a business decision, a dependable data foundation and a story people can act on.

Start with the decision.

Clarify the commercial or operational question before reaching for a chart.

02 / Signal

Make the data trustworthy.

Model, validate and define the KPI so the answer has a foundation.

03 / Action

Leave people with direction.

Translate the pattern into a clear visual, finding or recommendation.

useful answers.
