BUSINESS • FINANCE • ANALYTICS
I’m Jay Patel — a Business Management graduate with hands-on experience across entrepreneurship, sales, retail operations and customer growth, now focused on finance, data analysis and business analysis.
ABOUT
My background started with hands-on entrepreneurship, where I worked across sales, purchasing, inventory, pricing, customer service, staff coordination and daily business operations.
After moving to Canada, I built experience across retail, customer service, field sales and supervision while completing my Business Management diploma.
I am now focused on opportunities where business judgment, financial thinking and analysis come together — particularly financial analysis, business analysis, commercial analysis and operations.
