Brian Black

Data Analytics Leader with over 20 years of IT, BI, and Analytic work. Hold a Masters Degree in Business Analytics from the University of Iowa. I believe that a mature Analytics Team can help an organization fully leverage the vast wealth of data equity that they possess. The full range of the Analytics Spectrum (descriptive, predictive and even prescriptive) enables a business to fulfill its goal to serve their clients at the highest level while insuring the success of the organization. I have experience with a multitude of products and technologies such as R, SAS, SQL, Teradata, JMP, Business Objects Reporting and Data Warehousing, SSIS, Microsoft Access, and Cognos. Regardless of the toolset used, I am ultimately passionate about communicating business insights in ways that are both understandable AND actionable. I am a life-long learner who thrills in finding new tools and new solutions to new challenges. Most importantly, I am passionate and dedicated to the work I love.
