Andrés Ramírez — business analyst & industrial engineer,
currently enrolled in the MSc in Business Analytics at Esade, Barcelona.
I sit at the intersection of business administration, industrial engineering, and analytics. What motivates me most is understanding how organisations actually run behind the scenes — identifying inefficiencies, structuring complexity, and turning messy problems into decisions a team can ship. I lean on lateral thinking to optimise resources and do more with less.
Across analytics, fintech, and consulting, I have worked in both technical and business environments — translating between the two has become the thing I do most often, and the thing I most enjoy.
I am drawn to consulting, digital transformation, data strategy, operations, and business development because they reward the same combination: logical thinking, clear communication, and execution that actually lands. I like dynamic environments where I can learn quickly, adapt, and contribute hands-on.
Systematised end-to-end data ingestion and cleaning across multiple campaign sources using Azure, eliminating manual data-wrangling and standardising inputs for visualisation.
Built pipelines connecting campaign data to Power BI, giving real-time visibility into performance in place of manual, ad-hoc pulls. Designed Power BI dashboards tracking campaign performance and overall company financials, used by senior leadership to monitor ROI across channels.
Currently enrolled in the MSc in Business Analytics at Esade, strengthening the technical and strategic toolkit: advanced analytics, machine learning, data strategy, and business intelligence — applied to real decision problems with teams from across industries.
Supported business development that led to the acquisition of several international engagements. Coordinated cross-functional initiatives with multiple stakeholders and parallel workstreams, focusing on U.S. firms entering the Mexican market.
Worked closely with senior stakeholders on both strategic direction and operational execution — reporting, client communication, and day-to-day project management.
Managed several concurrent projects in a fast-paced payments infrastructure environment. Sat between systems, operations, and business teams — structuring communication, mapping processes, and improving the way work moved through the org.
Analysed artist and consumer behaviour data using Python and SQL — large datasets covering streaming, engagement, and music consumption. Built Tableau and Power BI dashboards that supported leadership decisions.
Ran weekly storytelling sessions and collaborated with marketing and A&R teams to support artist discovery initiatives.
Started out at ARNI as an intern, standardising data across Efficy and Excel — validating and de-duplicating more than 50,000 rows to improve the accuracy and reliability of client reporting. First hands-on exposure to consulting and structured data work.
Attended on a 90% football scholarship throughout the degree — balancing competitive sport with a demanding engineering programme.
Attended on a soccer scholarship — a year of business fundamentals abroad with full international exposure.
I am a competitive person — I love being challenged and constantly try new things to test myself and reach the next level. That same drive carries straight from work into the rest of my life.
I play football and other team sports, run, and swim to stay sharp; away from the pitch I play the piano and paint with watercolours. I am also a devoted lover of good coffee and good food — usually with a notebook nearby and at least one half-finished framework on a whiteboard somewhere.
