| Adrian Palmer I’m an experienced Data Delivery professional. I lead teams to provide solutions that unlock insights, to drive value and change. My many and varied roles have covered solutions architecture, data modelling, data engineering, visualisation, project management (Waterfall and Agile methods), and consultancy. I am expert in the design and build of data warehouses using a range of different technologies. I possess a set of skills that combine strong leadership, communication and project management, with a proven technical ability. These skills enable me to bridge the gap between business needs and technology, working with stakeholders at all levels, managing teams to deliver innovative solutions and process transformations. Most recently I have held Data Lead roles across all of BP’s B2B businesses (Castrol, Fleet and Aviation), managing multiple teams of analyst, data engineers and data scientists. Some recent examples of value delivery include: – Reducing time to insight from weeks to minutes for global businesses with multiple ERPs – Customer churn prediction, defending $6m of margin – Cost-to-serve customer waterfall modelling, to identify underperforming customers – Improved debtor management reporting, reducing Working Capital by $2m – Democratised access to enterprise-wide data with self-serve analytics solutions. I am results driven and believe a project must always focus on business outcomes over technological solutions. |
