Summary
Cal Murgu is a Regional Business Analyst at Elsevier with eight years of experience bridging academic librarianship and commercial strategy across Canada and the U.S. West of the Mississippi. He translates messy, institutional data into persuasive narratives that support large renewals, open access deals, and pricing strategy, combining analytics with user-behaviour insights. A former academic librarian and lecturer, Cal brings firsthand understanding of how libraries, research offices, and faculty evaluate data and publishing, which helps him craft recommendations aligned with institutional goals rather than just product features. He’s equally comfortable building dashboards in Power BI or prototyping in Streamlit and enjoys wrangling pivots to tell a clear story. Cal is a recent MBA graduate, a connector who values collaborating with librarians and researchers, and he leverages that trust to smooth negotiations and drive adoption. Based in Hamilton, Ontario, he’s a data storyteller who pairs technical curiosity with a knack for people-first commercial outcomes.
