Born in Venezuela and raised in Ireland, Alvaro is a professional with four years of experience in the financial services industry in roles ranging from customer advisor to mortgage broker. In these roles he became a qualified financial advisor and learned how to manage various stakeholders in a high pressure environment. Experiencing the effects that data fluency can have on an organisation led him to pursue a career in data.
As a data consultant, Alvaro is a certified user and has a track record of using Tableau, Power BI and Alteryx in engagements with clients. Previous clients include one of the largest financial institutions in the UK, top premier league football clubs, the largest vacation rentals company in Europe and a prestigious university. He prides himself on his storytelling, communication and interpersonal skills.
Some client engagement highlights include:
Delivering 2,500+ hours of curated Power BI training for one of the UK’s largest financial institutions with an average audience rating of 4.7/5.
Developing a suite of Power BI reports that enabled an adoption initiative within one of the UK’s largest financial institutions where colleagues could earn Credly badges to recognise their data skills learning progress. This initiative saw engagement from 3,000+ colleagues.
Developing Power BI reports that enabled economists at a UK financial institution to monitor the UK property market to inform business decisions and forecasts.
Leveraging PowerQuery to completely automate a data refresh process which had previously taken 5+ hours a week.
Developing Tableau dashboards for Premier League football clubs that informed decisions surrounding player performance and transfer market activity.
