Piyal brings a sharp analytical foundation to Openfin, combining a degree in Economics (Honours) with specialized training in data science from IVY Professional School. Her toolkit spans the full stack of modern data analysis—Advanced Excel, SQL, Python, Tableau, Power BI, and R—which means she can move fluidly from quick exploratory analysis to production-ready dashboards and reporting systems.
That economics background matters. Data skills are common; knowing which questions to ask and how to frame insights for business decisions is rarer. Piyal combines technical proficiency with the analytical thinking that makes data actually useful for founders making high-stakes calls.
At Openfin, Piyal supports portfolio companies and the studio itself with the data infrastructure that turns scattered metrics into clear signal. For early-stage ventures that can’t yet afford a dedicated data team, having access to someone who can build dashboards, run cohort analyses, and structure reporting is often the difference between flying blind and flying informed.
