- Experience defining KPI frameworks, performance management reporting and executive dashboards.
- Experience supporting advanced analytics, AI or data science initiatives through reporting and semantic model design.
- Experience in ontology in relation to Microsoft Fabric and how this can be used to support AI Agents.
