Gabriel Bell
Senior Manager of Data and Analytics, Unigroup
Storyteller, Architect, Analyst, Data Miner, Building and Leading Teams
Our future hangs on an ability to filter signal from noise, turn signal into stories, and use stories to foster understanding. More than an individual, a model, or a dashboard, this requires complex systems of ingesting, curating, and then translating through storytelling if we are to move past justification by data to that place where data is the heart of our decisions. In my 25 years of experience, across numerous industries, I have built the systems and trained the storytellers that turn businesses around.
