Louise Shorten (https://twitter.com/shortenl) is an Analytics Consultant and Tableau Evangelist at Perception Consulting. She is a recovering accountant who feels lucky to say that she has transitioned back into the field of data analytics. In particular she is very passionate about data visualisation and its ability to help people to engage with and understand data. She brings experience gained across industry and practise which helps her to work together with clients, understand their requirements and assess how they can leverage the power of analytics using Tableau. She blogs occasionally at https://gettingvizzywithit.blog/

Antoaneta Marinova (https://www.linkedin.com/in/antoaneta-marinova-57b44660/) is a Data Engineer in Zalando working as part of the Customer Data Platform where she aims to learn from customers behaviours in order to provide them better experience on Zalando. Before she moved to Ireland, Antoaneta was working as a Data Scientist for an Ad Network called Adcash and as a software developer in Axway in Sofia, Bulgaria.

Natasha Kelly is a manager in Accenture’s Life Sciences Analytics team. She took a somewhat circuitous route to becoming a data scientist, spending the first half of her career as an evolutionary theoretician and animal behaviour researcher in America. Having decided to leave academia, she moved back to Ireland and joined Accenture’s Analytics practise, where she worked her way through fraud, financial risk, and customer analytics projects, before specialising in logistics and supply chain analytics.
