01PRODUCT DATA / AUTOMATION

CONSUMER PRODUCTS · INTERNAL SYSTEM

From product details
to product intelligence.

The problem

Product facts lived across separate files and needed repeated manual formatting before teams could use them.

What I saw

The same information was being re-entered and reinterpreted. A well-structured source could serve several teams and outputs.

What I built

An Excel-based product data ecosystem with linked records and repeatable sheet generation, followed by the design of a broader software platform.

The impact

One product spec sheet that had taken roughly 30 minutes to prepare could be generated in seconds. The approach also created a foundation for consistent marketing, sales and operations information.

02REPORTING / DECISION SUPPORT

SALES ANALYSIS · CONSUMER PRODUCTS

Make the report
answer the question.

The problem

Standard sales data offered totals, but leaders often needed a sharper view of what was moving and where attention belonged.

What I saw

Useful analysis depends on the questions asked, the context around a number and the way the findings are presented.

What I changed

Added analytical layers and custom views to syndicated sales reporting, translating raw results into clearer comparisons and observations.

The impact

Colleagues could use the same underlying information to explore different questions and have more focused conversations about performance.

03PROJECT EXECUTION / COMMUNICATION

CROSS-FUNCTIONAL DELIVERY

Turn a moving target
into a coordinated plan.

The problem

Large projects bring many moving parts: timelines, approvals, materials, vendors and teams that depend on one another.

What I saw

Coordination becomes easier when dependencies are visible and ownership is clear.

What I built

Practical schedules, trackers, information sheets and follow-up routines to keep work visible from planning through execution.

The impact

Teams had a clearer view of what was ready, what needed attention and what had to happen next.
