ABOUT NIGEL STOODLEY

Culture, Challenge, Growth, Opportunity, working with great talent and aligned to a mission that will make the world a better place. These are the things that I look for in a company. I have had the joy to work with some amazing companies like Crystal. Business Objects, Tableau and Visier in a variety of roles in different stages in their evolution. Throughout my journey, I have learned that a quality product, simplicity, clearly defined focus, goals that are just slightly uncomfortable and a culture centered on belief and possibility are the most important aspects to success. I really enjoy building high performing team especially sourcing and nurturing and developing talent. Having broad and great experience is important but I believe in the power of trying new things. I believe that younger people need to be able to be provided the opportunity to experiment and try things that to the expert may seem impossible. This is especially true if it helps the business grow faster or be more efficient.I also believe in partnering. I always say that the more people that are able to derive value from your products and are aligned to your success, the faster your business will grow. At two companies I have kicked off partnering initiatives where there was none. These initiatives accelerated growth and ultimately provided impact to many lines of business.I believe that there is always chaos in business and my super skill is my drive to tame the chaos and to find the “machinery” to manage it 80% of the time efficiently. The other 20% of the chaos cannot go into the “machinery\" and needs to managed exceptionally or molded to be able to fit back into the \"machinery” It means that I seek structure and ability to make data driven decision in moving my business forward but I also understand that sometime you just have to break a bunch of glass.I am passionate about the Business Intelligence, Analytics Industry and believe in this software industry\'s ability to help companies and individuals get access to more information faster in a way that matters to the user. I believe that getting the right information to the right people in the right format or medium is THE best way that companies and the people who work for companies can make better decisions. That being said I love all technology and am an early adopter of many other technologies.
