Hello Sulu! Tell us what you do at ELEMENT and how your typical day looks like.
At ELEMENT, I wear multiple hats as a Data Expert, diving deep into Data Business Intelligence, Web Analytics and Business Process Management. A typical day for me involves a dynamic blend of activities. In the field of Business Intelligence, I’m constantly monitoring KPIs, ensuring data accuracy, and creating insightful visualisations through dashboard development. I also handle ad hoc data requests, engage in predictive analytics, and collaborate closely with stakeholders to understand their needs and provide actionable insights. On the Web Analytics front, I generate reports, analyse data trends, and optimise performance through tag management and custom event tracking. And in Business Process Management, I conduct process analysis, map out workflows, and drive continuous improvement initiatives. So, you’ll often find me immersed in data, strategising to enhance our operations and deliver value to our stakeholders.

Prior to that, my roles in IT management and consultancy equipped me with technical proficiency in areas like ERP systems, digital marketing, and medical IT service management.
