Your exceptional analytical skills and commercial insight combined with an ability to manage processes effectively allow you to shift focus between several topics without compromising on quality or efficiency. You enjoy deal-making and are able to identify metrics that matter for the business amongst large quantities of data to be able to draw high-level insight.
