#MVPbuzzChat with John White

In the 63rd Episode of the #MVPbuzzChat interview series, I spoke with dual MVP in Office Apps & Services and Data Platform, John White (@diverdown1964), Chief Technology Officer at UnlimitedViz, makers of tyGraph, and is based in Ontario, Canada. John holds a Master’s degree in Engineering from the University of Guelph, has spent 22 years in the Information Technology space, and has been instrumental in delivering projects and applications that have been recognized with both local and global awards from Microsoft and IBM. He is also co-host along with fellow MBP Jason Himmelstein (@jasehimm) of the popular BIFocal.show podcast.

In this video, John and I discuss the democratization of data analysis and business intelligence through Power BI, and how the conversation around data has evolved within the enterprise over the past two decades from our days building data warehouses to our current crop of incredibly powerful cloud-based analytics and insights tools.
