Joanne Collins

Power Bi Specialist

As the business owner, it goes without saying that data, analytics and business insight has (happily) consumed my career to date, with previous experience working for Global companies across Commercial Aerospace, Civil Aviation, Defense, Automotive, Space, Mining and the Oil and Gas sectors.
I am 100% results-driven with a tenacious and unrelenting focus on data accuracy that extends far beyond just numbers and spreadsheets; impacting whole-business systems to spotlight pain points, forecast outcomes, and drive greater profitability through vast efficiency gains.

My passion for data extends to its predictive power and the ability to create forecasting models to anticipate future outcomes. This proactive approach allows businesses to stay ahead of the curve, identifying trends, challenges, and opportunities before they fully manifest.
