Background

About Preston Wilson

I'm a Business Analyst and Data Analyst professional with 10+ years of experience turning complex business challenges into clear, data-driven strategies — across solar energy, logistics, and manufacturing. I recently earned my Entry Certificate in Business Analysis (ECBA) from the International Institute of Business Analysis (IIBA), and I'm actively building my technical toolkit in SQL, Power BI, Excel, Microsoft Visio, and Microsoft Copilot to complement my deep operational and stakeholder management background. What I bring to the table: Translating business problems into analytical frameworks — I've spent a decade gathering requirements, mapping processes, and aligning stakeholders across every level of an organization. Delivering measurable results through data — from driving $3.5M+ in operational savings through Lean Six Sigma analysis at Ruiz Foods, to managing a $50M client portfolio at BayWa r.e. using KPI dashboards, performance tracking, and market forecasting. Cross-functional leadership — I've led teams, managed warehouse operations, directed procurement strategy, and partnered with executives to define KPIs and build the reporting structures that drive strategic decisions. Technical skills that matter — SQL (JOINs, subqueries, aggregations, window functions), Power BI (dashboard development, KPI visualization), Excel (PivotTables, advanced formulas, data modeling), Visio (process mapping, BPMN), and Microsoft Copilot. My background in Lean Six Sigma (Black Belt) means I don't just find insights — I build the systems to act on them, reduce waste, and drive continuous improvement. I'm targeting Business Analyst and Data Analyst roles at data-driven, customer-obsessed companies — the kind of organizations where analytical rigor, clear communication, and a bias for action are non-negotiable.
