DANIEL ENCINAS / EXPERIENCE

2019 — 2026

Technology gave me the foundation.
Business, the direction.

My responsibility grew: from preparing data and configuring CRM to shaping customer initiatives and leading a team to deliver them.

Bangalore · IndiaJUL 2019 — FEB 2020
ROLE

Junior CRM & Customer Data Analyst

Make customer data usable.

In Bangalore, I worked on the foundations of a retail CRM and personalisation platform. I translated commercial needs into requirements, prepared data and configured platform elements. Working in English with customer and technology teams was part of my day-to-day role.

Functional and technical requirements

I turned business needs into specifications with customer and technology teams: what the platform needed to enable, which information it required and under which conditions.

Purpose and tools

Make a commercial request specific enough for the technical team to build and validate it.

Requirements · specifications · coordination in English

Data preparation and integration

I worked with customer data, ETLs and APIs. I used SQL and Python / pandas to query and analyse information and prepare segments.

Purpose and tools

Provide usable information to recognise customers and define whom each action should target.

Define customer and business priorities.

At Cognodata, my work expanded from CRM operations into customer strategy. I contributed to projects for Carrefour, Consum and Forum Sport, combining customer listening, segmentation and journey analysis with use cases, requirements and coordination with technical teams.

Listening and priorities

I worked with workshops, segmentation and Voice of Customer to understand pain points and turn them into CRM initiatives: which need to address, for which customers and through which use case.

Journey and opportunities

I worked on customer profiles, customer journeys and moments of truth to place improvement opportunities within the full course of the customer relationship.

The journey, in words

At Algonomy in India, I built my technical foundations: SQL, Python, data and integrations to understand how CRM systems work and are configured. At Cognodata in Madrid, I connected that foundation with segments, buyer personas, journeys and A/B tests: understanding what works and where to improve. In Mexico, I brought that learning together to coordinate teams and develop campaigns and hyper-personalisation for Chedraui. Today, AI expands what I can build with that experience: connecting business and technology to implement, supervise and make decisions.

THE EXPERIENCE I BRING TODAY

Connect the decision
with what it takes
to deliver it.
