Head Coach, The Information Lab Data School
Andy, a member of the Tableau Zen Master Hall of Fame, began using Tableau in April 2007. Since then, it’s been Andy’s mission to help as many people as possible see and understand their data with Tableau, which is the focus of his role as Head Coach at The Information Lab Data School. In August 2009, he launched vizwiz.com, which is credited as the first ever Tableau-related blog and provides examples of data visualization best practices, methods for improving existing work, and tips and tricks with Tableau. He writes three weekly series: Makeover Monday, Tableau Tip Tuesday and Workout Wednesday.
Andy also writes about great data visualizations he finds around the web on his other website DataVizDoneRight.com and he is ½ of Dear-Data-Two.com with Jeffrey Shaffer.
In addition to his recognized expertise in data visualization and Tableau, Andy is frequently invited to speak at conferences around the world. Prior to his role at The Information Lab, Andy ran the Tableau Center of Excellence at Facebook, providing data visualization and data analysis training at Facebook offices globally. Andy was also the first Tableau user at Coca-Cola before moving to Facebook.
