Alteryx CCO Olivia Duane Adams: Women Do Think Differently

Analytics is “about having a sense of curiosity — the ability to look at data and say, ‘what is it telling me?'” said Olivia Duane Adams, chief customer officer at Alteryx. “I define analytics as ‘the ability to ingest any and all relevant sources of data that might help answer a question being asked.’ Analytics is the ability to use all the data you have to answer a question, or at least to drive insight to get to a better answer. Analytics is everywhere, and that’s because data is everywhere.”
