Eva Murray
Eva is a Tableau Zen Master, and passionate about helping others grow their skills and enhance their professional careers.
Eva first became fascinated with data and information visualisation while studying Psychology in New Zealand and lived through the pain of analysing data in Excel at the start of her professional career. Thankfully, she was given a Tableau Desktop license after moving to Australia and things grew from there.
Eva now lives and works in Germany as Head of BI and Tableau Evangelist at EXASOL. She executes Exasol’s data-driven strategy, engages with the wider data and analytics community and leads the company’s philanthropic projects. Eva writes about data visualisation, Tableau and her other two passions – Travel and Triathlon (or just cycling) – on www.trimydata.com.

Andy Kriebel
Andy is a five-time Tableau Zen Master and creator of vizwiz.com, which he started in August 2009 to provide examples of data visualization best practices, methods for improving existing work, and tips and tricks with Tableau.
If you go all the way back to the start of his blog, you’ll notice he’s been doing makeovers since that time. Andy believes makeovers are great way to learn, practice and reinforce data visualisation best practices while learning to work with lots of different data sets.
Andy is the Head Coach at The Information Lab Data School and writes three weekly series: Makeover Monday, Tableau Tip Tuesday and Workout Wednesday. He also writes at datavizdoneright.com, a site created to highlight data visualisation best practices.

Join The Effective Statistician LinkedIn group
This group was set up to help each other to become more effective statisticians. We’ll run challenges in this group, e.g. around writing abstracts for conferences or other projects. I’ll also post into this group further content.
I want to help the community of statisticians, data scientists, programmers and other quantitative scientists to be more influential, innovative, and effective. I believe that as a community we can help our research, our regulatory and payer systems, and ultimately physicians and patients take better decisions based on better evidence.
I work to achieve a future in which everyone can access the right evidence in the right format at the right time to make sound decisions.
When my kids are sick, I want to have good evidence to discuss with the physician about the different therapy choices.
When my mother is sick, I want her to understand the evidence and being able to understand it.
When I get sick, I want to find evidence that I can trust and that helps me to have meaningful discussions with my healthcare professionals.
I want to live in a world, where the media reports correctly about medical evidence and in which society distinguishes between fake evidence and real evidence.
Let’s work together to achieve this.
