Aarthi V.

Manager, Business Intelligence & Analytics @ Government of Alberta

About

I’m Aarthi - a senior data & analytics leader who helps organizations move from fragmented data to strategic clarity. Over the past 17+ years, I’ve led transformative analytics programs across public and enterprise sectors - modernizing legacy data platforms, embedding explainable machine learning into decision workflows, and unifying siloed data under enterprise-wide strategies. From leading cloud-native ecosystem rollouts to building full-stack data platforms with explainable AI integration and modernizing BI across distributed environments, I bring a unique blend of technical fluency, strategic clarity, and business alignment. My work has enabled pandemic surge forecasting, capital investment planning, physician extender budgeting, and enterprise-wide cost modeling - always with a focus on transparency, risk mitigation, and executive value. I don’t believe in hype. I believe in clarity, accountability, and building AI-powered data ecosystems that are people-centered, future-ready, and built to last. If you're building data systems that need to scale with integrity, let’s connect.
