About Gordon Wong

I\'m a hands on, collaborative analytics leader who loves building data teams. I start with the business problem and always keep it in sharp focus. I know how to create the blue prints for effective analytics solutions and be the product owner for my teams. When it comes to management, my philosophy is to direct as little as possible and to coach as much as I can, leaning into empathy, honesty and optimism. I have dual responsibilities of helping my teams grow their careers and the enterprise to growth its business through intelligent decisions. My mind is for the company but my heart is for my people.As a data warehousing geek, I love SQL, databases, data modeling and analytics. I read about any BI tool I can find, have tried most of the ETL tools around and constantly think about how to accelerate analytics. I\'m an expert at implementing, configuring and managing Snowflake, both as a technical contributor and as a budget holder. I can\'t walk past a whiteboard without drawing a data model on it.Specialties: Snowflake, Redshift, dbt, Tableau, Periscope, Looker, Netezza, SQL Server 2005/2008, SSIS, SSAS, SQL, Databases, Data Warehousing, Data Integration, Campaign Management, Business Intelligence, Data Modeling, Data Architecture, Database Architecture, Ab Initio
