The Power BI Whisperer | Power BI, Fabric Principal Consultant @Simple BI Inc

Let’s get to the point: you’ve got data problems, and I’m here to solve them. 
 
Imagine running an operation where every decision is backed by clear, actionable insights.  

No more guesswork.  
No more surprises.  

Just a seamless flow of information that drives your company forward. 

I'm David Giraldo, Principal Consultant of Data Analytics at Simple BI.  

In every corner of the manufacturing world, I’ve seen: 
 
• Unreliable demand forecasts 
• Constant stockouts that leave customers frustrated 
• Capacity constraints bottlenecking your production, eating into your profits  

Over the past few years, I've helped companies like Microsoft*, Westlake Chemical*, Waste Management*, MSA The Safety Co*, Sub-Zero Group*, Tricorbraun*, and Kroger Pharmacy* not just navigate these issues but turn them into strengths. 
 
Here’s how I solved them: 
 
1. We start with your data.  
 
Whether it’s buried in SAP, outdated systems or siloed in 1,000 Excel files across your organization, we dig in and bring it all together.   

From there, we design advanced analytics solutions using Azure Data Platform, Microsoft Fabric to give you a 360-degree view of your operations. 
  
2. We build clarity.  

We create reports in Power BI that deliver the exact insights you need to: 
 
• Optimize your supply chain 
• Predict demand more accurately 
• Manage your inventory in real time 
 
3. We drive action.  

We work with your team to automate processes and simplify operations so you can focus on what matters:  

Growing your business without the operational headaches. 
 
My goal is simple:  

I help manufacturing leaders turn data into decisions that don't just keep businesses running, but position them to thrive in an increasingly competitive market.

There’s a moment in every data budget review when the room goes quiet: 

“Who owns this cost?” 

Eyes drop to laptops. Someone mentions “shared capacity.” Another blames “automation.” Nobody raises a hand.  

That silence is the real bill.  

Not the dollars – the hit to trust.  

If you can’t say who owns it, you can’t say why it exists.  

And if you can’t say why, you can’t ask for more. 

Leaderless spend feels like drift. Pipelines keep running because nobody wants to be the person who pauses them. Warehouses hum overnight because it’s safer to waste money than risk being blamed for a failure.  

The fear is rational. The outcome is not. 

So I make three commitments visible and non‑negotiable: 

👉 One name on every workload. If it has no owner, it stops. Not forever — until someone is willing to own it. 

👉 After hours, lights go off. If you need them on, say why and for how long. Put your name on that too. 

👉 If spend doubles in a day, a human gets pinged and something stops immediately. Justify it, or it stays off. 

People worry this will slow them down. It does the opposite. When ownership is clear, decisions are fast. When off hours are expected, exceptions mean something.  

When spikes trigger action, you don’t spend your week explaining a bill you didn’t cause. 

Cost isn’t a finance problem. It’s an accountability problem that shows up as dollars. 

If your spend doubled tonight, who gets the alert – and what stops first? 

Post 5 

“Looks fine to me” isn’t an operating model. 

You know the drill:  

The app is green, the meeting starts, someone asks why yesterday’s sales didn’t land. 

Health checks and vibes don’t answer that question. SLOs do. 

Run Fabric with three SLO you can measure: 

👉 Pipeline success rate 

👉 Median time‑to‑publish 

👉 Time‑to‑detect 

Here’s how to do it right:
