Hola a todos 👋✨ Soy Jimena, Analista de Datos, y trabajo todos los días con Power BI para transformar datos complejos en soluciones analíticas claras, útiles y accionables 📊 Mi recorrido profesional no fue lineal —por suerte, porque si algo sabemos en datos es que casi nada interesante viene perfectamente estructurado desde el origen 😄—. Vengo del mundo del Derecho, una experiencia que me dio una base muy fuerte de análisis, lógica y pensamiento estructurado. Hace algunos años decidí reorientar mi carrera hacia la tecnología 💻 primero pasé por el desarrollo web y luego encontré en el análisis de datos un lugar donde realmente me siento en casa.

Hoy trabajo en proyectos donde el ecosistema Microsoft ocupa un rol central, con un interés cada vez más fuerte en Microsoft Fabric y en la construcción de soluciones de extremo a extremo: desde la ingesta y transformación de datos, hasta el modelado, la visualización y el análisis 🚀📈Me apasiona el código 👩‍💻 entender cómo funcionan las cosas "por dentro" y compartir conocimiento con la comunidad de datos, tanto como asistente como orador 🎤💙.

Disfruto especialmente de los conceptos técnicos sobre todo de Power BI y Microsoft Fabric de una manera clara, práctica y conectada con escenarios reales. cuando no estoy analizando datos ni peleándome amistosamente con Power Query 😅, seguramente estoy planeando un viaje ✈️, tomando mate con mis dos gatos 🐱🧉 o tratando de descifrar por qué un notebook de Python, que ayer andaba perfecto, hoy elige el caos.

Roberto Grifalconi

Roberto Grifalconi

I have a software background: I’ve worked in several companies and co-founded a start-up. For over 10 years, I worked as a Product Owner, partnering closely with teams and stakeholders to turn complex needs into sustainable solutions—balancing technical constraints, user experience, and business goals.

Over time, my focus shifted from “what we build” to “how we work together”. Very often, the real bottleneck isn’t strategy, but conversations, priorities, dependencies, and decision quality. Today I support individuals, teams, and organisations as an ICF coach, facilitator, and trainer. My approach is practical and non-judgemental: I help make visible what often remains implicit (flows, friction, decisions, responsibilities) and turn it into achievable, sustainable steps.

My work typically falls into three areas:

* Conversations that make a difference**: feedback and difficult conversations, with a focus on emotional intelligence at work, to improve collaboration, psychological safety, and shared accountability.
* People, behaviours, and organisational risk**: noticing weak signals in the organisation and exploring how leadership, delegation, and transparency affect prevention, reputation, and retention.
* Organisations that can navigate complexity**: building continuity between decisions and action, clarifying priorities, and making work flows clearer and more sustainable—using continuous improvement and transparency to look ahead and learn from experience.

When it helps, I also run facilitated workshops (e.g., LEGO® SERIOUS PLAY® and Event Storming) to build shared understanding and turn it into concrete choices. My goal is to help people and organisations pursue ambitious outcomes without jargon—through clarity, respect for company culture, and a sustainable pace of improvement.
