When Heidi first got in touch with Tableau as a software developer back in 2017, she knew at once that this was the tool for her. Turning passion into profession, she started working at The Information Lab Deutschland GmbH. Since then, she has brought that same enthusiasm to numerous projects and to trainings for over 400 new and experienced Tableau users. Heidi is a 2020 Tableau Social Media Ambassador.

As founder and co-leader of Data+Women Germany, Heidi has made it her mission to promote and improve diversity in the data community. In her current role as Analytics Evangelist, Heidi does what she does best: inspire others with her passion for a company-wide analytics culture.

The only thing Heidi loves more than Tableau are alpacas.

“Please join me for a look at the recent mapping features Tableau has released over the past year. We’ll have a special focus on the most exciting new feature – Map Layers! And finally, I’m looking forward to sharing some future ideas and concepts. I’m especially interested in hearing how well these ideas can serve your needs, and your feedback will give us an opportunity to tailor our designs to help make your mapping lives both easier and more robust in the future.”
