Solution Delivery Lead

Founder at Decision Crew | Passionate about delivering value to clients through data & analytics.

My core belief is a simple one: data should be personal.

Starting at Accenture, I saw firsthand how great data visualizations can make all the difference. It’s not just about numbers; it’s about telling a story. I founded Decision Crew to bring that personal touch to businesses, helping them grow by truly understanding their data.

𝗦𝗼𝗺𝗲 𝗺𝗼𝗺𝗲𝗻𝘁𝘀 𝘀𝗵𝗮𝗽𝗲 𝘆𝗼𝘂 𝗳𝗼𝗿 𝗹𝗶𝗳𝗲.

I was a teenager, finishing up in the garden. Tired, bored, ready to move on.

My dad walked over, looked at the edges, the corners, the spots I’d rushed through thinking no one would notice.
He wasn’t the advice-giving type. Most days, he’d just point at what needed fixing and expect you to figure it out.

But that day, something shifted. He paused, looked me squarely in the eye, and said:

“𝗗𝗼𝗻’𝘁 𝗱𝗼 𝗶𝘁 𝗳𝗼𝗿 𝗺𝗲. 𝗗𝗼 𝗶𝘁 𝗳𝗼𝗿 𝘆𝗼𝘂𝗿𝘀𝗲𝗹𝗳. 𝗧𝗵𝗲𝗻 𝘆𝗼𝘂’𝗹𝗹 𝗸𝗻𝗼𝘄 𝗶𝘁’𝘀 𝗴𝗼𝗼𝗱 𝘄𝗵𝗲𝗻𝗲𝘃𝗲𝗿 𝘀𝗼𝗺𝗲𝗼𝗻𝗲 𝗰𝗵𝗲𝗰𝗸𝘀.”

He wasn’t talking about the garden.

He was talking about the standard you keep when no one’s looking. The integrity that lives in the unseen corners. The craft that matters, whether or not there’s an audience.

That sentence became my internal compass.

𝘐 𝘢𝘭𝘴𝘰 𝘵𝘢𝘭𝘬 𝘢𝘣𝘰𝘶𝘵 𝘵𝘩𝘪𝘴 𝘴𝘵𝘰𝘳𝘺 𝘪𝘯 𝘮𝘺 𝘊𝘌𝘖 𝘚𝘵𝘰𝘳𝘪𝘦𝘴 𝘤𝘰𝘯𝘷𝘦𝘳𝘴𝘢𝘵𝘪𝘰𝘯 - 𝘢𝘳𝘰𝘶𝘯𝘥 𝘮𝘪𝘯𝘶𝘵𝘦 22:22

Since then, it’s shaped every project, every product, every decision at Decision Crew and now at Decision Agency. The last 5% isn’t optional: it’s where quality separates itself from “good enough.” The edge cases matter. The design matters. The value matters.

Because quality isn’t something someone else awards you. It’s a promise you keep to yourself.

So we slow down when things don’t work as expected. We tighten up the code and test it again. We polish what’s functional but visually not quite right. We own the outcome.

The work carries your name long after the meeting ends.

I’ve been asked this more than I’d like to admit.

So here’s the clearest answer I can give:

𝗪𝗲 𝗮𝘂𝘁𝗼𝗺𝗮𝘁𝗲 𝘁𝗵𝗲 𝘄𝗼𝗿𝗹𝗱’𝘀 𝗱𝗮𝘁𝗮 𝗽𝗿𝗼𝗯𝗹𝗲𝗺𝘀.

That clumsy business process everyone complains about, but no one fixes.

The messy Excel file that’s become a business liability.

The insights are buried so deep in your data that you’ve stopped looking for them.

We take those headaches and turn them into something that works:

• Dashboards that inform 𝗿𝗲𝗮𝗹 𝗱𝗲𝗰𝗶𝘀𝗶𝗼𝗻𝘀
• Automated flows that 𝗲𝗹𝗶𝗺𝗶𝗻𝗮𝘁𝗲 𝘁𝗵𝗲 𝗿𝗲𝗽𝗲𝘁𝗶𝘁𝗶𝘃𝗲 𝘀𝘁𝗲𝗽𝘀 your team does daily
• Operational analytics apps with AI at the core, making your 𝗯𝘂𝘀𝗶𝗻𝗲𝘀𝘀 𝗳𝗮𝘀𝘁𝗲𝗿 𝚕̶̶̶𝚎̶̶̶𝚜̶̶̶𝚜̶̶̶ ̶̶̶𝚎̶̶̶𝚛̶̶̶𝚛̶̶̶𝚘̶̶̶𝚛̶̶̶–̶̶̶𝚙̶̶̶𝚛̶̶̶𝚘̶̶̶𝚗̶̶̶𝚎̶̶̶, and 𝗯𝗲𝘁𝘁𝗲𝗿 𝗲𝗾𝘂𝗶𝗽𝗽𝗲𝗱 𝘁𝗼 𝗱𝗲𝗰𝗶𝗱𝗲

𝗜𝗻 𝗽𝗿𝗮𝗰𝘁𝗶𝗰𝗲? CEO scorecards in Power BI. Automated onboarding that triggers training the moment someone requests access. AI-driven data extraction that doesn’t just surface information – it recommends what to do with it.

The world has moved on from insights. It now expects assisted decision-making.

𝗔𝗻𝗱 𝗶𝗳 𝘆𝗼𝘂’𝗿𝗲 𝘀𝘁𝘂𝗰𝗸 𝗼𝗻 𝗮 𝗱𝗮𝘁𝗮 𝗰𝗵𝗮𝗹𝗹𝗲𝗻𝗴𝗲, 𝗹𝗲𝘁’𝘀 𝘁𝗮𝗹𝗸.
The breakthrough might be closer than you think.

Seeing that 64% of you spend 5–10 hours every week fixing or reconciling Excel files was eye-opening… and honestly, very familiar…

So, I have an insightful story to share with you.

I once worked with a central UK bank that produced a weekly cashflow report built on twenty spreadsheets.

Every Monday followed the same ritual:
𝘥𝘰𝘸𝘯𝘭𝘰𝘢𝘥 → 𝘴𝘢𝘷𝘦 → 𝘰𝘱𝘦𝘯 → 𝘤𝘰𝘱𝘺 → 𝘱𝘢𝘴𝘵𝘦 → 𝘳𝘦𝘱𝘦𝘢𝘵.
Three full pages of steps.
One wrong click, and the entire report unraveled.

When the process owner went on holiday, I took over the process.

On my very first attempt, something broke - not on purpose, just somewhere deep in that fragile chain of steps.

It took an entire day to trace back one tiny mistake.

A reminder of how much stress is hidden behind processes that no one ever questions.

𝗕𝘂𝘁 𝘁𝗵𝗲 𝗿𝗲𝗮𝗹 𝘁𝘂𝗿𝗻𝗶𝗻𝗴 𝗽𝗼𝗶𝗻𝘁 𝗰𝗮𝗺𝗲 𝗹𝗮𝘁𝗲𝗿.

I built a small automated version of the workflow in parallel.

One week, the automated results didn’t match the manual report.

At first, the assumption was simple:
𝘁𝗵𝗲 𝗮𝘂𝘁𝗼𝗺𝗮𝘁𝗶𝗼𝗻 𝗺𝘂𝘀𝘁 𝗯𝗲 𝘄𝗿𝗼𝗻𝗴.

But the logs told a different story:
𝘛𝘩𝘦 𝘴𝘰𝘶𝘳𝘤𝘦 𝘧𝘪𝘭𝘦𝘴 𝘩𝘢𝘥 𝘤𝘩𝘢𝘯𝘨𝘦𝘥 𝘶𝘱𝘴𝘵𝘳𝘦𝘢𝘮 - 𝘲𝘶𝘪𝘦𝘵𝘭𝘺, 𝘸𝘪𝘵𝘩𝘰𝘶𝘵 𝘸𝘢𝘳𝘯𝘪𝘯𝘨.
𝘕𝘰 𝘰𝘯𝘦 𝘯𝘰𝘵𝘪𝘤𝘦𝘥.
𝘌𝘷𝘦𝘳𝘺𝘰𝘯𝘦 𝘵𝘳𝘶𝘴𝘵𝘦𝘥 𝘵𝘩𝘦 𝘥𝘢𝘵𝘢 𝘢𝘴 𝘪𝘵 𝘢𝘳𝘳𝘪𝘷𝘦𝘥.

And that’s when something clicked for me:
𝗘𝘃𝗲𝗻 𝘁𝗵𝗲 𝗺𝗼𝘀𝘁 𝗱𝗶𝘀𝗰𝗶𝗽𝗹𝗶𝗻𝗲𝗱 𝘄𝗼𝗿𝗸𝗳𝗹𝗼𝘄 𝗰𝗼𝗹𝗹𝗮𝗽𝘀𝗲𝘀 𝘄𝗵𝗲𝗻 𝘁𝗵𝗲 𝗳𝗼𝘂𝗻𝗱𝗮𝘁𝗶𝗼𝗻 𝗶𝘀 𝘀𝗵𝗶𝗳𝘁𝗶𝗻𝗴 𝗯𝗲𝗻𝗲𝗮𝘁𝗵 𝗶𝘁.

And this wasn’t a small startup.
This was a major bank running mission-critical reporting on processes held together by routine and hope.

I think about that often.
About how many teams still depend on systems built from memory, not design?
About how much time, energy, and talent are lost in steps that should have been automated years ago.

Sometimes real clarity arrives through the most minor cracks in a spreadsheet.

𝗦𝗼𝗺𝗲𝘁𝗶𝗺𝗲𝘀 𝘁𝗿𝗮𝗻𝘀𝗳𝗼𝗿𝗺𝗮𝘁𝗶𝗼𝗻 𝗯𝗲𝗴𝗶𝗻𝘀 𝘁𝗵𝗲 𝗺𝗼𝗺𝗲𝗻𝘁 𝘀𝗼𝗺𝗲𝘁𝗵𝗶𝗻𝗴 𝗳𝗶𝗻𝗮𝗹𝗹𝘆 𝗯𝗿𝗲𝗮𝗸𝘀.
