Hi, I'm Arno 🦉

I've created this website to have a space where I could not only share my background and experience, but also my perspective about subjects that matter to me. Working as a Lead Data Analyst at Miro within the Forward Deployed Analytics unit, I lead transversal strategic projects and translate complex data flows into actionable insights that empower stakeholders. Success is collaborative. No matter how technically skilled your data models and analyses are, they are only as good as the insights they provide. Influencing stakeholders and communicating insights effectively is crucial to a successful product development lifecycle.

Aside from work, I am interested in cycling (my goal is to complete my first bikepacking trip in 2026), climbing (like half of the urban population in 2025) and RTS video games (especially Age of Mythology). I am a late bloomer for most of my interests. For instance, I picked up sourdough bread baking after the Covid hype ended and most people abandoned the hobby. I would consider studying again, as I believe in continuous learning and I find universities to be the most intellectually stimulating spaces there is.

My goal through this website is to write on a continuous basis, in avoidance of the auto-complete that my editor continuously suggests, in an age where AI-assistance will likely corrupt our creative freedom.

    Lead Data Analyst

    As Lead Data Analyst at Miro, I work within the Forward Deployed Analytics (FDA) unit, leading transversal strategic analytics projects across business areas. My scope has expanded beyond growth analytics to include high-impact initiatives such as the design and analysis underpinning new licensing models, working closely with Product, Finance, and Go-to-Market teams to translate complex data into strategic decisions.

    Key responsibilities and achievements:

    • Leading end-to-end analytics for strategic cross-functional projects, including the establishment of new licensing and monetization frameworks
    • Maximizing monetization potential through acquisition, expansion optimization and in-product flows
    • Employing advanced predictive modelling techniques to gain deep insights into user journey (e.g. understanding retention patterns to maximize Net Revenue Retention (NRR) and customer lifetime value)
    • Combining quantitative and qualitative methods for product usage and user profiling analysis, participating in all stages of the product lifecycle from research, prioritization and planning through to experimentation and result analysis
    • Developing analysts across the team in advanced experimentation practices, including A/B testing methodologies, statistical rigour and causal inference frameworks — recognised internally for raising the team’s technical bar in experimentation
    • Acting as a go-to resource for analytics best practices across teams, contributing to a culture of data literacy and evidence-based decision-making
    • Using dbt, Looker, SQL, R, Python, Databricks and Bash for data extraction, modelling, and visualization
