Lalit Vyas, a highly accomplished expert in internal audit, data analytics, and business intelligence, is setting a new standard for how organizations leverage Power BI to transform data into strategic action. With over 12 years of experience in leading risk-based audits and leveraging advanced data initiatives, Vyas has emerged as a trusted leader in harnessing data, optimizing risk management, and driving multimillion-dollar growth globally.
Vyas, a Chartered Accountant (CA), Certified Internal Auditor (CIA), and Certified Fraud Examiner (CFE), also holds certifications in Applied Data Science from MIT Professional Education and expertise in Power BI and Generative AI applications. His career reflects a consistent focus on delivering actionable insights, strengthening internal controls, and using data to propel business decisions.
Throughout his tenure, Vyas has held pivotal roles, including his position as Director – Data and Insights at Enhance Fitness in Dubai, where he created the first-of-its-kind reporting system that revolutionised how fitness clubs operate their personal training business globally. This innovation has been adopted by some of the largest gym chains in the US and promises to improve contribution margins by as much as 11%.
