About Kevin Ross

I’m a strategic and impact-driven analytics leader focused on building and scaling enterprise data capabilities that drive real business value. My approach centers on embedding analytics at the foundation of business processes—not as a separate function, but as a core enabler that empowers every employee to make smarter, faster decisions.I’ve led the design and implementation of a company-wide analytics strategy that delivers a trustworthy, accessible data platform—ensuring teams across all levels have the insights they need, when and where they need them. Most recently, I delivered an AI-powered analytics solution that transformed contract review, significantly improving both speed and accuracy.For me, driving value through analytics means more than dashboards or reports—it means creating a culture where data is treated as the asset it truly is. I believe that when analytics is seamlessly integrated into daily workflows, it becomes second nature—enabling organizations to operate more intelligently and adapt more quickly in a data-driven world.Expertise in Microsoft Power BI/Fabric, Microsoft Copilot, Microsoft Power Automate, SAP Analytics Cloud (SAC), SAP HANA modeling, ABAP, UI5, HTML, CSS, SAP (BW 7.3 and Basis Administration), BOBJ 4.1 (WEBi report development), CMC Administration, Business Objects Data Services (BODS), ABAP, SQL, PL/SQL.
