I’m Dob Njinimbam, an analytics leader, consultant, and educator with 10+ years of experience across healthcare and consumer technology. I turn complex business needs into reliable analytics and useful decision tools. I also build governed data foundations that give reporting teams and AI tools consistent metrics and shared business context.
