How to be a more Impactful Data Analyst • Claire Carroll • YOW! 2020

This presentation was recorded at YOW! 2020. #GOTOcon #YOW https://yowcon.com Claire Carroll - Analytics Engineer at Fishtown Analytics RESOURCES https://www.linkedin.com/in/clrcrl ABSTRACT As the sole analyst in a fast-growing Australian startup, I experienced the pain of the traditional analyst workflow — stuck on a hamster wheel of report requests, Excel worksheets that frequently broke, an ever-growing backlog, and numbers that never quite matched up.
