  • Conduct Power BI end-user training sessions and provide ongoing guidance and best-practice support.
  • Promote effective BI usage patterns and self-service analytics across the organization
  • Advocate for the importance of data governance and business rules specific to commodity trading and shipping to enhance the accuracy and timeliness of trading decisions.
