About Kathleen Whitcomb Tarquinio

I am a project analyst currently supporting National Grid within Capital Project Delivery, where I work with project data, work order controls, and reporting that support planning, financial accuracy, and capital readiness. My work focuses on validating and reconciling data, tracking KPIs, supporting work order scrub processes, and ensuring information used by leadership is reliable and decision-ready. I’m particularly drawn to investigative analysis, utilizing Excel and reporting tools to identify discrepancies, understand root causes, and enhance data integrity and processes. Known as a collaborative and detail-oriented partner, I enjoy translating complex data into clear insights that help teams operate more efficiently and confidently.
