Interpreter turned analyst, Bridget Cogley brings an interdisciplinary approach to data analytics. She focuses on ethics, data literacy, effective data communication, and functional aesthetics in design. She has been a Senior Consultant for the last 6 years and is a 4-time Tableau Visionary. Prior to consulting, Bridget managed an analytics department, which included vetting and selecting Tableau, creating views in the database, and building comprehensive reporting. She also has experience in American Sign Language, training, HR, managing, and sales support.

Bridget sees Tableau in a fresh and inspiring way. Effective data communication is more than just putting some charts on a dashboard. Bridget holds our hands and gives us great ideas about how to turn a good visualization into an engaging one with a bit of humor along the way.

Kelly worked as a senior data analyst since 2000 and has an education in demography; the study of population patterns and behaviour. (MA, thesis defended 2001). She has worked in health care (public health, cardiology), child protection services, and telecommunications and is skilled in social research methods (including data analysis), statistics, SQL and Tableau.

Kelly was one of our original Tableau Visionaries and was in the program for four years. She stepped back from contributing to the community when she was diagnosed with cancer. She passed away on September 30, 2019 at the age of 58.

At Tableau, we will remember not only her skills but also her humility, one of the fundamental tenets of a successful community: Kelly shared ideas with the purpose of helping others, not for the sake of herself. In honour of Kelly’s many contributions, we are adding her to the Tableau Visionary Hall of Fame.

We send our best wishes to her family and friends. She will be missed.

I started working for Leicestershire County Council 18 years ago as part of the then Research team. But it was in 2011 that things really changed when I downloaded Tableau for the first time. Five (long) years later, in December 2016, we deployed Tableau Server across the Council. Currently, I'm called a Business Intelligence Development Team Leader. My job is to ensure the success of the Tableau deployment. I'm responsible for a team of developers that accesses Council data. Then wrangler it and add into our own database to allow analysts to plug in and viz. I'm also known to help with the vizzing.

In any spare time, I write data-driven stories with Tableau and Chris Love as the Data Beats on Medium (https://medium.com/@databeats), and create too many spatial treemaps.
