Paige Cleary

Data Platform Manager | Analytics Systems, Business Intelligence, and Human-Centered Data Products

I build data systems for people who need to make better decisions, not just prettier charts.

My work sits at the intersection of business intelligence, analytics engineering, automation, reporting strategy, and user adoption. I have built executive dashboards, internal reporting systems, automated data pipelines, Power Platform applications, and analytics workflows across finance, operations, sales, and people data.

The through-line is human-centered data work: turning messy business questions into reliable systems people can understand, trust, and actually use.
