Jad Belcaid is a business specialist passionate about making data work smarter. After years of working across business operations, digital transformation, and market analysis, he noticed a common challenge: teams struggled to handle large Parquet datasets efficiently within Excel and Google Sheets.

To solve this, Jad co-created Parquet Power Tools, a powerful suite of add-ins that lets professionals open, edit, and analyze Parquet files directly in Excel and Google Sheets without complex setup or coding.

Today, Parquet Power Tools helps analysts, data teams, and businesses worldwide process millions of rows seamlessly, bridging the gap between everyday spreadsheets and big data performance.

When he's not exploring new ways to make data work better, Jad enjoys spending time outdoors cycling or swimming, or learning a new language.

Throughout his career, Jad witnessed firsthand how data inefficiencies can hinder organizational growth. From Fortune 500 companies to innovative startups, the same challenge persisted: teams needed better tools to work with large-scale data without abandoning their familiar workflows.

Combining his expertise in business operations, digital transformation, and market analysis, Jad developed Parquet Power Tools to address this gap. The result is a suite of add-ins that empowers Excel users to leverage the speed and efficiency of Apache Parquet while maintaining their existing workflows.

Today, Parquet Power Tools serves data professionals, analysts, and businesses worldwide, helping them process millions of rows of data with unprecedented speed and efficiency.
