As an Analytics Consultant, I successfully managed multiple analytics projects, leveraging both predictive and descriptive techniques. I spearheaded BI reporting initiatives for diverse lines of business, including Securities, Commodities, Wealth Management, and Metals, utilizing SAS ETL and BI tools within a UNIX and DB2 environment. I oversaw the full project lifecycle, coordinated with client teams, gathered requirements, designed reports, and streamlined their automation and production migration following UAT approval. I also contributed to Reliance Life Insurance Ltd. in Mumbai, where I developed statistical models—such as Lapse Retention, Cross Sell/Up Sell, and Fraud Claims—using SAS Enterprise Miner and Logistic Regression, while driving strategy execution through extensive client engagement and nationwide branch visits. Additionally, I led BI reporting efforts for departments like Retention and Finance, guiding report migration, mentoring teams on ETL and automation, and optimizing performance with SAS SPDE. My work encompassed data preparation, technical transformations, and report creation using SAS tools, consistently delivering valuable outcomes for business stakeholders.
