Hi!

I’m Alessio, a Lead Business Intelligence Consultant based in Zurich, with over 8 years of hands-on experience helping organizations turn data into actionable insights. I specialize in Power BI, Microsoft Fabric, SQL, and cloud data architecture, and have led projects across industries ranging from tech startups to large enterprises.

My career has been a mix of technical deep-dives (from building robust data models to optimizing reporting pipelines) and business-focused consulting—meaning I know how to bridge the gap between technical teams and decision-makers. I’ve trained and mentored 100+ professionals, designed enterprise-scale BI solutions, and built my own educational tech company, where I teach BI, SQL, and data modeling.

Whether you’re starting your BI career, looking to upskill in Power BI, need help navigating data career moves, or want guidance on leading analytics projects, I’m here to support you. I’m especially passionate about making complex data topics approachable and helping others find practical solutions to real-world problems.

Alongside the technical journey, I truly believe that the human side matters just as much. Having walked my own path far from home, juggling work and studies, I understand how challenging and lonely things can feel sometimes. If you ever want to talk about motivation, setbacks, or just need a sounding board for whatever’s on your mind, I’m here to listen and encourage you.

I can help with:

Mastering Power BI, Microsoft Fabric, and SQL (beginner to advanced)

Building or optimizing data models and reporting pipelines

Understanding cloud data architecture (especially Azure)

Data governance, compliance, and best practices

Preparing for BI certifications (PL-300, DP-600, etc.)

Career advice, interviews, and soft skills for BI professionals

If you want a mentor who’s straightforward, supportive, and genuinely invested in your growth—both professional and personal—let’s connect! I’m looking forward to helping you achieve your goals.
