Dear Hiring,
Hope is my starting point no matter the challenge. I listen, learn, and look for solutions. After a decade leading teams and improving operations in the fashion industry, I’m excited to bring that same passion for problem-solving into a data-driven role. For over a decade, I’ve led teams, improved workflows, and delivered high-quality results at companies like Levi Strauss & Co. and Rent the Runway. Whether training over 150 associates, launching in-house programs that boosted productivity, or designing solutions that saved thousands, I’ve always leaned into data and metrics to guide decision making. The move into analytics is more than just a new direction, it’s a continuation of what I’ve always done best- solve problems, improve systems, and help people grow. In May 2025, I’ll complete the Data Analytics Program at Rutgers University, and what drives me now is the opportunity to take those same skills into a new environment using SQL, Python, Excel, and Tableau to visualize trends, clean unorganized data, and find meaning in the numbers. I’m especially interested in roles where collaboration, curiosity, and real impact matter. I bring a deep respect for detail, a strong sense of ownership, and a desire to help businesses move forward through informed decisions.
I’d be thrilled to bring my unique background and positive energy to your team. Thank you for considering my application. I’d love to connect and learn more about how I can contribute to your organization.
Kind Regards,
Guldane Sever
