WELCOME TO PENSATO BUSINESS ANALYSIS

Looking for a friendly BA with oodles of industry experience and analytical ability – and great listening skills?

🔸 I'm an analytical thinker with business and industry knowledge.
🔸 I'm an experienced Senior Project Manager and Business Analyst, and have delivered improvement projects in the automotive, chemical, FMCG, food, energy, and manufacturing sectors.
🔸 I like to know the big picture, but I'm also comfortable in the detail – personable, completer finisher, outcome-driven.
🔸 I have a degree in Business Management with French and German and an MSc in Operational Research (applied maths). I did post-grad research into knowledge acquisition for artificial intelligence (AI) systems. I began my career as a process engineer (SPC) in the steel industry and later worked with a management consulting firm for 14 years.
