Work History

EU PXT ANALYTICS MANAGER

AMAZON
03.2020 - Current

As an analytics leader, I've built a self-driven analytical organization that grew from three analysts to over 10 people across the EU, completely revolutionizing basic analytics from manual MS Excel solutions to cutting-edge cloud-based technologies. Among our developed solutions are owned analytical software platforms, state-of-the-art data lakes, event-driven data pipelines handling 65 million rows daily, and generative AIs solutions. I have successfully hired, managed, promoted, and coached individuals in diverse roles such as Business Intelligence Engineers, Data/ML Pipeline Engineers, Research Scientists, Data Scientists, Product Managers, and Software Development Engineers across six different countries. Over the course of nearly four years, my team successfully developed:

  • two fully owned software products. Each product had over 8000 active concurrent users worldwide every day and a budget exceeding 1 million USD;
  • a data and analytics architecture on the AWS cloud that serves over 20000 users daily;
  • a data and analytics strategy for EU organizations that set the standard in the EU;
  • implementation of the most efficient EU data privacy and security program, while also delivering roadmaps for numerous medium and large products and implementing over 100 reporting solutions;
  • an architecture solution for the data pipeline to a significant AWS customer through the Amazon and Customer Collaboration mechanism.

In addition to my own duties, I've taken on the role of assessing and hiring technical professionals worldwide (tech BR), successfully recruiting over 50 individuals for different teams at Amazon.
