Arjun builds what the future demands before it announces itself. He leads AI-first transformations that challenge inertia, align ambition with execution, and turn strategy into systems that scale. Equal parts builder and strategist, he creates momentum where others stall – translating complexity into clarity and vision into velocity. His teams thrive in high-ambiguity, high-stakes environments, delivering outcomes that are as measurable as they are meaningful. Known for “show, don’t tell” leadership, Arjun turns urgency into discipline and ambition into tangible results and believes that building is as much about inspiration as invention – about sparking belief in what’s possible and proving it through action. His edge lies in his refusal to wait – he helps grow organizations and products that don’t simply adapt to change – they set the tempo for it.

I help monetized creators ($150K–$2M revenue) remove themselves as the bottleneck before momentum turns into burnout or fragile growth.
Most creators don't think of themselves as salespeople. But every brand deal, partnership negotiation, rate discussion, and "yes" or "no" decision is a sales decision. The difference between creators who scale and creators who stall isn't talent or effort—it's structure.
I've spent 15+ years building sales and revenue systems at AWS, PepsiCo, and Veritas Technologies, where growth can't depend on one person being involved in every decision. Now through Legacy Bloom, I bring that same decision discipline to creators who are earning real money but still carrying everything themselves.

Hola, soy Jimena, Analista de Datos trabajo a diario con Power BI para transformar datos complejos en herramientas analíticas claras, útiles y orientadas a la toma de decisiones informadas.

Mi recorrido profesional no fue lineal. Vengo del mundo del Derecho, lo que me dio una fuerte base analítica y de pensamiento estructurado, y hace algunos años decidí reorientar mi carrera hacia la tecnología. Mis primeros pasos fueron en el desarrollo web, para luego especializarme en análisis de datos.

Actualmente trabajo en proyectos donde el ecosistema Microsoft es central, con un interés creciente en Microsoft Fabric y en la construcción de soluciones end-to-end, que abarcan desde la ingesta y transformación de datos hasta el modelado, la visualización y el análisis.

Me apasiona el código y disfruto profundamente entender cómo funcionan las cosas “por dentro”.

Disfruto compartir conocimiento y participar activamente en la comunidad de datos, tanto como asistente como speaker, con el objetivo de acercar conceptos técnicos —especialmente en torno a Power BI y Microsoft Fabric— de forma clara, práctica y aplicada a escenarios reales.

Cuando no estoy analizando datos ni peleando con transformaciones en Power Query, me vas a encontrar buscando algún destino para un viajecito, tomando mate con mis dos gatos —que también emigraron conmigo— o mirando alguna peli... o algún video sobre cómo entender de una vez por todas ese método raro de JavaScript que nunca uso pero quizás algún día.
