These last four years have been the most inspiring of my career, what a ride it has been! It’s been a great opportunity and an amazing experience, joining this unique Seattle start-up as one of the first employees in Tableau’s Frankfurt office. Watching our DACH team growing to 120+ people is far more than I had imagined at the beginning, it is simply amazing!
As for my next phase, I’ll take on a strategist role to a leading cloud & AI company to create an impact on how the digital age refines our life.
I’m very grateful to have worked alongside talented people both in Tableau and in our greater #datafam community — people who are brilliant and freakishly-friendly. I had fantastic mentors, Nate Vogel, and Andy Cotgreave, who supported me tremendously and shared their wisdom with me. I have many lifetime memories and made lots of great friends. I wish all of you at Tableau all the best for your next chapter, joining the Salesforce Ohana.
