As Technology Evangelist at Exasol, Eva Murray is focused on building awareness through specific industry and technology campaigns, which involve content creation, events (virtual), and enablement sessions for partners and customers. She uses a variety of formats, including blogs, podcasts, press and analyst interviews, webinars, and workshops. Using her expertise in data visualization and specifically Tableau for businesses of all sizes, Eva works with prospects and customers to ensure they can maximize the value they get from their investment in analytics. I wanted to learn more about how Eva's involvement in the Visualize Gender Equality" project is designed to harness the power of data visualization to raise awareness of extreme gender inequality. Eva shares her experiences working in a male-dominated industry and overcoming the struggles brought about by gender bias in the world of data. We also discuss the growing prominence of the Chief Data Officer (CDO), the buzz around 'data literacy,' and how organizations need to introduce not just a digital transformation but a data transformation too. Finally, we discuss how intelligent use and the understanding of data are integral to the success of charities and other non-profits.
