Tell us a bit about your business.
We’re a data analytics company working from Adelaide, Melbourne and Canberra, too.
Our day-to-day involves dashboarding, automations, software integrations and database development.
All the technical work is only useful if the outcome is genuinely helpful and sustainable, so we’re focused on understanding our clients and their business rather than jumping into quick fixes.
What led you to your career path in data analysis and business ownership?
I started out as a genetics researcher, lab coat and all! I first learnt to write code to support my research, and then came to understand that those skills could be applied to solve problems across industries.
Since then, I’ve worked as a data analyst, software developer, manager and now director in the data consulting space. Business ownership is its own skill set entirely and allows me to support my staff through their own professional development journeys, which is a beautiful thing.
What do you love most about living in your corner of the City of Marion?
I’m based in Hallett Cove, and when I stand at my window I can watch the clouds turn neon at sunrise and sunset over the ocean. Shockingly beautiful each time.
What is your favourite place/eatery/café to visit in the City of Marion?
Banks and Brown - great coffee, cosy cafe and plants to browse.
