Alex Bodin
Senior Program Manager at Google · Data Analytics & Operations Leader · Omaha, NE
Data analytics, operations, and logistics leader with 8+ years of experience combining business intelligence, data engineering, and large-scale program management across global data center hardware networks.
My career bridges technical data analytics with hands-on operational execution. Before stepping into program leadership at Google, I worked as a Senior Business Intelligence Analyst and Senior Data Analyst building automated ETL pipelines, single-source-of-truth data models across multi-system warehouses, and executive KPI dashboards.
Today I apply that analytical foundation (Python, SQL, Databricks, BigQuery, Redshift, DBT, and Tableau) to transform global hardware and reverse logistics workflows, returning $110M+ in power capacity, unblocking hundreds of global projects through root-cause blocker data modeling, and driving multi-million dollar cost savings.
