About Cary Anderson

I am a seasoned business analytics leader with nearly two decades of experience turning complex data into actionable insights. In my current role as a Director of Business Analytics at Microsoft, I have led high-impact BI initiatives – for example, I launched a global “single source of truth” dashboard used by stakeholders worldwide to track sales pipeline, revenue, and forecasts. I also streamlined reporting processes by retiring 30+ legacy reports, which improved efficiency and even saved approximately $1M per year in operational costs. What truly sets me apart is my blend of technical expertise and collaborative leadership: I’ve led cross-functional teams of developers and analysts to deliver innovative analytics solutions that empower decision-makers at all levels.I am passionate about driving a data-driven culture and have been recognized with multiple awards for impact and innovation. My core strengths include project/program management, business intelligence, data analysis, and process improvement. I’m proficient in industry tools like Microsoft SQL, Azure Databricks, and Power BI, and I hold the Certified Business Intelligence Professional (CBIP) credential. I also earned my B.A. in Economics from Northwestern University, providing a strong foundation in business and analytics
