Gaia Fantini

After studying the social aspects of ICT in Europe, Gaia came to London to follow her study interest with a MA in Data and Information Ethics. Gaia believes that digital technologies and information can influence the socio-economic development, and unveiling relationships and patterns in data is crucial to advance such change. She joined the Data School as she found that data visualisation is a powerful instrument towards that.

Here she became highly skilled in Business Intelligence & Analytics, developing a strong background in data analysis and data visualisation. Gaia has a proven track record in developing and delivering data-driven strategies and actionable visual reports to key stakeholders across diverse industries, including finance, energy, transport and satellite communications. At the same time she obtained industry-recognised certifications, significantly enhancing her knowledge of data solutions and strategies.

As a consultant, Gaia helped her clients improve their data products quality by reducing inconsistencies and increasing reliability, boosting user’s trust and engagement. She created automated processes to restore workflows and dashboards, saving months of work and increasing teams performances. She developed and delivered training sessions in Alteryx and Tableau, providing the workforce with independent reporting capabilities, while assuring ad hoc support.
