ABOUT CHITRA KANNAN

My experience is centered around Analytics and Operations Strategy. I love to combine the use of data and the art of storytelling to gain actionable insights- I consider myself a bit like Sherlock Holmes in this regard. I’m also very good at structuring content and delivering it in a way that makes it engaging and memorable. I have an MBA from the Rotman School of Management (University of Toronto and a Master’s degree in Engineering Management from Duke University. Prior to Rotman, I worked with the Performance Analytics team at Carnival Cruise Line, where I acted as a liaison between the business and technical side, developing clear visualizations to help break down and translate complex ideas. I am always looking to leverage my interpersonal skills and comfort with technology to lead projects where I can help understand the opportunities hidden in the data and drive growth.
