Intro

Hello and Welcome!

I'm Omkar Deshpande - a Senior Analytics Consultant with over 8 years of experience transforming data into business insights that matter.

My career began in Pune, India, and has evolved through roles at global firms like American Express, Bristol Myers Squibb, and Wells Fargo. Along the way, I’ve driven impactful analytics and reporting solutions that empower leaders to act with clarity and speed.

At Wells Fargo, I led initiatives like the Loudspeaker and Leadership dashboards, combining data storytelling, risk insights, and automation to deliver consistent value. I’ve built scalable reporting solutions in Tableau, Power BI, and Python, and am passionate about simplifying the complex through automation and intuitive visuals.

I recently relocated to the Netherlands and am currently exploring new opportunities to bring my experience and enthusiasm for data to a global stage. I’m excited to collaborate with forward-thinking teams and contribute to innovative, data-driven cultures.

I believe great data work is part science, part storytelling. From stakeholder discussions to dashboard delivery, I bridge the gap between raw numbers and business outcomes.

Thanks for visiting - let’s connect and see how we can bring clarity to complex data challenges together.
