Suzanne Hoffman – Senior Director, Analyst Relations
Suzanne has more than 25 years of Business Intelligence experience (long before it was called BI) beginning as a marketing manager for an Insurance company. Using SPSS, the only analytic product available, demographic and policy holder information was analyzed and measured to gain insightful and reusable data. Fast forward a few years and Suzanne spent her formative BI years with the launch team of PowerPlay at Cognos, Metaphor, as it was acquired by IBM, pre-IPO Arbor Software and nascent Hyperion Solutions, before becoming a consultant in the industry. She returned to a vendor employee environment with Tableau more than two years ago to help build the channel organization. She was then tapped to create her current role advising analysts and thought leaders in visual analytics.
