About Ashley Lounsbury

My goal is to help companies consistently get business value out of their data assets through self-service analytics.Companies today have more data than ever before. They are continuing to invest more money in data and analytics and yet, they are still struggling to even analyze data let alone put it at the center of their decision making.That’s why I joined Tableau 7 years ago - to be part of a company and community on a mission to help people actually use data.Everyone who uses Tableau at some point has an “aha” moment where they understand how powerful the software is and that it is so much more than a dashboard tool. For me, that moment happened when I interviewed at Tableau in 2016. Prior to Tableau, I had been working at a marketing analytics company advising customers on content marketing strategies and a large portion of my job was analyzing data in our native reporting platform and via Excel exports. When I first used Tableau, I could immediately see the value. Not only would it save me time when analyzing data for my own client presentations, but it could have helped our product team provide better reporting to our clients on the data we aggregated across digital and social marketing channels. This would have allowed us to focus on what we were good at - collecting and presenting the data marketers needed, instead of building proprietary reporting tools. For my team, we could have spent less time analyzing data and more time on the phone with our clients helping them achieve their goals. Now, I’m passionate about helping my clients get their own “aha” moment with Tableau. I want to help them connect to and analyze data and make it useful. When I’m not geeking out about analytics, I like to sing (I’m in a local choir and also enjoy karaoke), travel, and explore new restaurants. If any of this interests you, let’s connect!
