About me

I connect business priorities, people and data.

Business perspective. Technical depth. Leadership that moves work forward.

Sebastien Laurore wearing a navy blazer and white shirt

I help organizations turn fragmented information and manual processes into dependable data and useful business answers. As an analytics engineering and business intelligence professional with more than 20 years in technology and over 13 years in BI and data delivery, I bring hands-on problem solving, operational understanding and the ability to guide people from a business need through technical delivery.

My experience in business ownership, IT operations and analytics helps me see both the business question and the systems behind it. I translate stakeholder needs into practical solutions, connect data sources, build pipelines and reusable models, and establish shared business logic. Governance, validation and automation help make that information consistent, trustworthy and useful.

I also build teams, coach contributors and coordinate work across business and technical groups. I apply approved artificial intelligence tools to development, troubleshooting, research and reporting, with validation against source data and business requirements. Together, these strengths connect business understanding, technical implementation and team delivery around a shared outcome.

Professional summary

Business perspective. Dependable data. Effective delivery.

What I bring to your organization:

  • Turn business needs into technical delivery. Bring operational and commercial understanding to requirements, evaluate solution options, coordinate implementation and validate results against agreed expectations.
  • Build reusable data foundations. Connect sources, develop pipelines and dimensional models, and separate ingestion, preparation and business-ready data.
  • Make reporting consistent and useful. Establish shared measures and business logic that support decisions across teams.
  • Embed governance and quality into delivery. Document definitions, test and reconcile outputs, monitor workflows, trace dependencies when troubleshooting and manage changes.
  • Automate and modernize practical workflows. Reduce recurring preparation and improve how data moves from source to consumption, freeing people to focus on analysis and action.
  • Develop people and align teams. Coach contributors and connect business stakeholders with technical implementation.
  • Apply artificial intelligence to real work. Support development, troubleshooting, automation, research and reporting with validated AI assistance.
