Francisco Rei

Francisco began his journey into data at university, where he recognised the importance of data-driven decision-making. At the Data School, he has been honing his skills in Tableau, Alteryx, Power BI, and SQL, achieving certifications in Tableau, Alteryx and PBI. He has also developed his ability to think critically about data. This approach enables him to look beyond the numbers, exploring trends and relationships that might not be immediately obvious.

During his time at the Data School, Francisco has worked on client projects across a variety of industries, including Retail, Air Travel, and Sports, amongst others. These projects include 

  • Working with a Wealth Management firm to build and automate a financial adviser performance dashboard, with the potential to save millions. 

  • A commercial real estate company, helping them reduce the high volume of Power BI tickets in their backlog. He enhanced the design, automated processes, and improved dashboard performance.

  • Leading a project for a sports car company as a project manager, he managed a team of 7, coordinated with stakeholders, delegated tasks effectively, and ensured the project was successfully completed.

Francisco has a varied background and his work experiences have shaped his work ethic. Francisco's practical and technical expertise equips him to bridge the gap between complex data and effective strategies.
