Daryl Lewis
Assistant Manager
About
With five years of experience in financial analysis and business operations, I've developed a strong ability to turn data into meaningful business insights. In my current role as an Assistant Manager, I've worked closely with cross-functional teams, using tools like Power BI, Tableau, and Excel to analyse financial performance, track KPIs, identify trends, and support data-driven decision-making. My work has contributed to improving operational efficiency, reducing costs, and helping stakeholders make informed business decisions. Combined with an MBA in Project Management, I'm now looking to transition into an Analyst role where I can apply my analytical skills, business understanding, and problem-solving mindset to deliver measurable value.
