What Google Data Analytics Certification Taught an Operations Executive

By Pablo M. Rivera | East Haven, CT

Pablo M. Rivera earned Google Data Analytics and UX Design certifications in 2024. After making decisions based on operational data for more than 20 years, getting formally trained in the analytical tools and frameworks behind modern data practice sharpened every aspect of how I build and evaluate KPI systems, design dashboards, and translate data into action.

BigQuery, R programming, and advanced analytical frameworks complement the Salesforce deployments, financial modeling experience, and Lean Six Sigma training that Pablo M. Rivera already brings to operational leadership. The certifications didn't teach me to value data — they upgraded my toolkit for working with it.
