I am an expert when it comes to using Microsoft Excel to analyse
complex data, create reports and presentations, automating repetitive
work and processing financial and other business data.
My key strengths
are understanding complex business processes in practice and working out how
to improve them through the best combination of operational redesign, management skills, thoughtfulness, practicality and
Excel skills.
I have used my spreadsheet skills in both management and consultant roles on significant
projects and so I am much more useful than many Excel trainers who can only apply themselves
in the classroom but don't understand the real world of business.

applications.
