  • Sharp thinking ability to be able to quickly differentiate major contributors from irrelevant details and to hierarchically structure information residing in the data under analysis.
  • Robust knowledge of statistical concepts, accompanied by expertise with a set of analytical tools ranging from databases (e.g. SQL, BigQuery, noSQL) to programming languages (e.g. R, Python), and from data visualization (e.g. Tableau, PowerBI) to machine learning.
