“I had the pleasure of working with Heather at Alaska Air Group on a company-wide initiative you elevate analytics ROI. Heather is a thought leader and visionary in data science, and with her passion and drive on this project, we were successful in transforming a tech user group into a company wide analytics community. Our joint program led to centralizing the tech stack, developing training for over 200 analysts across dozens of workgroups, and laid the foundation for AirGroups’ transformation into data science. Heather was a fantastic partner, helping to bridge the gap between IT and the business, and is a great asset to anyone fostering the growth of advanced analytics. ”
