Emily Newell

I am dedicated to using data and analytics to deeply understand customer needs to determine why a company wins at the moment and how they might win in the future. Being dyslexic, I developed my self-learning style and persistence. What I also discovered were various innovative and creative approaches and voracious curiosity. Combined this means that I persistently dig around to identify opportunities for both enterprises and customers in both operational excellence and new revenue streams.
