Making a Difference Through Data on the EMEA Sales Team

As a Senior Analyst, I feel like a detective for data. My job is to spot patterns, understand problems, and decode business needs to help my partners make smart, strategic decisions. But it’s not just about numbers—I need to build a nice story, weaving in market conditions, trends, and insights to make the data meaningful. After all, raw numbers can be boring without context. My role is to transform messy data into clear, actionable insights that help my stakeholders—and by extension, Palo Alto Networks—grow and succeed.

Palo Alto Networks’ mission to secure the digital world really aligns with my goal of making a difference through data. What resonates with me the most is the focus on staying ahead of challenges and always innovating. Just like Palo Alto Networks helps protect businesses, I work to provide clear insights that help teams make better decisions. Being part of a company that’s always growing and adapting motivates me to keep learning and contributing.

Palo Alto Networks has played a huge role in my career growth. I joined when we were fewer than 5,000 people, and now we’re over 15,000—a transformation I’ve witnessed firsthand. Early on, I had the opportunity to work with different organizations within Palo Alto Networks, which gave me a strong understanding of business dynamics and strategic decision-making. As the company scaled, so did my experience, allowing me to adapt, collaborate across teams, and refine my analytical skills.

What I really love about working at Palo Alto Networks is the strong sense of collaboration and inclusivity. Everyone works together, no matter their role, and there’s a real focus on personal growth through training opportunities. I’m also proud to be part of employee network groups that help me connect with people from different backgrounds, and they make the company feel like a place where everyone belongs. It’s this supportive environment that helps us all make a bigger impact, both inside the company and out in the world.
