I am Birce Sari, a Business Intelligence & Data Analytics Leader focused on turning organizational chaos into clarity. With 9+ years building enterprise BI ecosystems across healthcare, e-commerce, and multi-stakeholder environments, I design data infrastructures that leaders actually use, grounded in governance, clear narratives, and stakeholder needs. My philosophy: Analytics is about trust, not dashboards. I bridge the gap between the boardroom and data engineering, lead large cross-functional initiatives, and cut C-level ad-hoc requests by creating proactive intelligence and stable governance. I am bilingual in English and German, and I thrive on translating analytics into strategic, measurable decisions that staff and executives alike will actually trust.
