Zachary Long - Buisness Data Analyst

I live at the intersection of creativity, technology, and business, driven by a passion for using data to enhance human experiences and tell stories. I am enthusiastic about opportunities where I can combine my expertise in business analytics, business intelligence, stakeholder management, human resources and creative problem-solving to support meaningful initiatives within purpose-driven organizations. 🀩

With years of entrepreneurial success as a professional photographer & multimedia storyteller and a pivot into IT Consulting and Human Resources through a BS in Computer Science from Auburn University and MS in Business Analytics and AI from NYU Stern School of Business, I bring a unique visual and creative perspective to deriving impactful insights from data that move organizations forward.

Currently I am a Technical Business Analyst specializing in student data dashboards & reporting. This experience, combined with my previous roles as a Human Resources Program Manager at Wipro and a Software Developer and Business Analyst at Capgemini, has honed my ability to leverage data insights to develop and implement people-centric strategies.
