About Richard Chaparo

A proud 1st-generation graduate and excel-enthusiast, I am an analyst that can turn mountainous amounts of data finding actionable insights. At UC San Diego, mathematics and economics were my focus in my Management Science degree. Following 3 years in the banking world and my MBA at CSU Long Beach, I spent 3 years in aerospace at Northrop Grumman diving deep into analytics. My strengths include analyzing process improvements, presenting analytics, and leading cross-functional teams. Using charts and metrics to draw the business story to our directors, I provided proactive insights into possible future problematic areas and corresponding recommendations.In 2016, I set off to fulfill a dream of completing an around-the-world trip. I returned in the summer of 2017 after backpacking through 23 countries and began as a Senior Financial Analyst at Raytheon and was promoted to Principal Analyst. In 2019, I took time off of my professional career to take on my most impactful role: stay-at-home dad. During COVID, I was fortunate to start a new opportunity as Senior Analyst at Beyond Meat and left to focus more on SQL and data visualization in a new industry. I am now a CX Insights Analyst at Faire! At Faire, I develop data-driven insights to help CX leadership optimize performance tracking & workforce planning. I build dashboards, reporting frameworks, and analytics models to identify key trends and drive strategic decision-making. My work involves translating complex data into clear, actionable insights, enabling teams to improve efficiency and customer experience.I\'m passionate about efficiency, learning, health, wellness, and the environment. Don\'t hesitate to reach out!
