P3 Adaptive
Vishal Lodha is Strategic Account Director at Microsoft and is the primary point of contact between Microsoft and some of their most important customers and has a vast knowledge of the entire Microsoft stack.
Chris Webb is an OG in the Microsoft data universe, having long-time knowledge of the Microsoft Data Platform…even pre-dating Rob’s own experience with the tools!
He’s a Principal Program Manager on Microsoft’s elite Power BI Customer Advisory Team (The CAT Team)!
Evan Rhodes is one of the three Directors of Client Services here at P3 Adaptive. There is very little that can stand in his way when it comes to excellence, he makes everyone around him better, and he wants to win by doing things the right (not only the correct, but the ethical) way. And, to top it all off, he looks a LOT like Keanu Reeves!
Ken Puls is the epitome of an Excel and Power BI guru by being an incredible guide, a teacher, and “Remover of Darkness” of the secrets of these tools. Born from a fusion of Accounting and IT, Ken’s mastery of Excel includes VBA programming and Power Pivot modeling, data cleansing and reshaping, and financial modeling.
It’s clear when you listen to Ryan Bergstrom tell his story as to why he is a leader here at P3 Adaptive. His problem-solving ability is incredible, and he loves to teach and help others. That vibe sounds quite familiar, the data community has a such great reputation for altruism!
Krissy Dyess is a prime example of inspiration and adaptability. She made a decision to better her knowledge of the updated and evolving BI tools through self-teaching, and with help from the amazing data community.
Gordon Rowe III’s nickname among his peers is The Gandalf of Data, and for good reason-he’s truly a wizard when it comes to the unconventional tools that he uses. What he does with the 2010 version of PowerPivot will blow your mind!
Who better to talk about the past, present, and future of BI than Microsoft Corporate Vice President of the Business Intelligence Platform Arun Ulag.
Donald Farmer is a data artist and Jedi of sorts. His BI wisdom is unmatched and he shares this knowledge as we cover his early interest in computers (and the power that they gave the user), the history of PowerPivot from one of the former “faces of Microsoft BI”, and so much more!
Kasper de Jonge’s areas of expertise are many-Business Intelligence, Power BI, DAX, PowerPivot, General BI, Datawarehouse, SSIS, Reporting Services, Analysis Services, SQL Server, and you can include a mean basketball crossover to that list!
It was an honor to sit down with two of the creators of Power Query, Sid Jayadevan and Miguel Llopis. You get to hear the history of Power Query from their perspective!
Hugh Millen is a former NFL quarterback and currently a television and radio sports analyst. He’s also a data aficionado, whose story is another great example of a unique path that a person with a keen interest in data has taken.
