Background

About Michael Friedmeyer

Experienced data and strategy professional with 15+ years across analytics, operations, and trading technology. Currently based in Tokyo, I support global clients and internal teams with reporting, data infrastructure, and dashboard solutions that clarify business performance and reduce friction in decision-making. I specialize in turning complex or ambiguous problems into structured, high-impact solutions—using SQL, Tableau, Excel, and applied AI. My current focus is on combining data analytics with applied AI to improve clarity, efficiency, and decision quality. I work primarily with ChatGPT to analyze SQL logic, evaluate execution plans, summarize complex research, structure internal reporting, and stress-test approaches to challenging problems. I’m especially interested in how large language models can augment real-world workflows—from analytics to strategy to communication—and I'm actively building internal best-practice playbooks that codify high-leverage AI use across these areas. My background spans post-trade operations (Lehman Brothers), strategic analytics in automotive finance (JM Family), and business intelligence for enterprise software. I focus on clarity, speed, and outcomes—whether the task is building a forecast model, aligning KPIs to business objectives, or designing AI-augmented reporting flows. Core strengths: SQL development for business analysis Tableau & Excel dashboard development KPI tracking and performance optimization Forecasting and workforce planning Process modeling and cost analysis MBA (Finance & Security Analysis), University of Florida. Passionate about using technology to translate complexity into clarity—and enable better, faster decisions.
