Our Story

For years, I worked as a data analyst, but no matter how hard I worked, I felt stuck. I was doing good work, but it wasn’t making the kind of impact I knew I could.

Then, one day, a good friend and manager came to me frustrated. Millions of dollars in company plant and equipment were sitting idle in yards, under repair, depreciating and not being used. The company was using outdated spreadsheets, fragmented systems, and executives were flying blind. The company was bleeding money, and they had no clue how to fix it.

That was my wake-up call.

I realised that businesses didn’t just need more reports—they needed real-time, actionable insights to stop losing money and start optimising their resources. At that moment, I knew I had to do something bigger. So, I decided to stop playing small and own this challenge.

That’s when I created Gemcutter Analytics. Born from the idea of turning something raw into something extraordinary, I knew I could transform scattered, underutilised data into valuable, business-changing insights.

I developed the 5 Step Analytics Advantage Framework, designed to clean up fragmented data, connect systems, and give executives crystal-clear dashboards for faster, smarter decision-making. And it worked. Within two years, I helped that company add $3.52m to their bottom line by optimising asset use and improving decision-making.

Since then, I’ve scaled Gemcutter Analytics, working with some of the largest mining companies and world-renowned organisations to empower them with the data visibility they need to drive real growth and performance.

My results
  • $220M increase in sales pipeline for a construction company
  • 21% increase in products sold, adding $19.5M annually for a manufacturing company
  • 34% revenue growth in 9 months for a mining services provider
  • 10% improvement in tender win rate, adding $33.25M in annual sales for a construction company
  • $1.56M increase in gross margin for a specialised recruitment firm
  • $3.52M EBIT with $600K less revenue for a plant and equipment hire company
  • 19% YoY growth in sales volume for a mining produce company
  • 3.7x revenue growth in 3 years for a construction services company
