SPEAKER BIOGRAPHIES

SPEAKERS AT THE DATA ARCHITECTURE AND ANALYTICS

STRATEGIES CONFERENCE – DECEMBER 1, 2022

Rob Fosnaugh, Sr. Manager – Enterprise Information Management, Brotherhood Mutual Insurance

 

Over the past 15 years I have grown BI (including enterprise data and reporting) from just me to a team of almost 20 IT folks along with partnering with over thirty business users who do the majority of all reporting and analytics of the company. This is across the entire company from Sales through Finance. We use SQL Server, WebFOCUS, and PowerBI to successfully support the business. The approach I take is organic growth through ownership and mentoring which builds the right solutions by the right people, not big projects that miss the mark when they don’t deliver because they lost sight, the target moved, or wasn’t built by and for those who know what they want.
