Karthik Kumar — BI & Analytics Specialist

About Me

My work sits at the intersection of business strategy and technical delivery. Over eight years supporting global enterprise teams, I have learned that great analytics is not just about dashboards — it is about asking the right questions, earning stakeholder trust, and building systems that grow with the business.

I am currently a Senior IT Knowledge Reporting & Tools Analyst at Paychex — a global SaaS HCM and payroll platform — where I design and deliver enterprise BI solutions for Finance, Operations, and HR Analytics teams. Before that, I spent two years at ABB Global building travel and transportation analytics using SAP Concur across a complex multi-division industrial environment.

My approach blends collaboration with structure: I engage stakeholders early to deeply understand their needs, then systematically translate ambiguous requirements into automated workflows that reduce manual effort and drive transparency across high-stakes decisions.

Right now I am focused on the shift from traditional reporting to intelligent analytics — exploring how Agentic AI, LLMs, and autonomous workflows can make data systems not just reactive, but genuinely proactive.
