Hi, I’m Imre
I breathe data through a blend of sound business acumen, excellent analytical- and cross-functional communication skills.
As a seasoned, T-shaped data professional with 15 years of experience across diverse data roles and sectors, I thrive in projects that are stakeholder-intensive (international and culturally sensitive), where my skills achieve impactful results. My focus remains on delivering value-generating data assets and fostering environments that align with strategic goals.
Through my extensive network, I can also provide a (team of) developer(s) skilled in any of the top programming languages to meet project demands efficiently and effectively.
