Elisa Garcia

Professional with +8 years of experience in financial analysis and business development, with a growing focus on data analytics. 

Over the years, I have developed a strong interest in using data to create business value and support smarter decision-making. That is why I decided to strengthen my technical skills, completing a Data Analytics Bootcamp and joining 42 Madrid Fundación Telefónica as a student, where I’m learning programming and the logic behind code. 

My goal is to combine my finance and business background with new data-driven strategies to help companies optimize performance and generate actionable insights.

I’m excited to apply these skills in real-world projects and collaborate with dynamic teams that use data to create meaningful impact!
