FP&A Today: Damon Fletcher, ex-CFO of Tableau, on Great Analytics

Legendary Ex-CFO of Tableau Damon Fletcher says: “The most important thing is to get started. The most common reason companies fail is they, they're, they say they want to clean their data before they're ready to analyze it. By analyzing the data, you sometimes find why it's not clean and then can make changes. So I would say don't wait to get your data in a central repository or clean it completely up before you allow your team to analyze it. I think that's, you know, so get started immediately with the things that are most important to your business, and look at those every day."

Fletcher, now CEO at Caliper, says: "At Tableau I got up every morning, looked at bookings, I looked at employee ads for the week and how many employees we had hired and how many had left. I looked at cloud spend, things like that, finding were big impacts of drivers of our P&L, and T&E spend. So you know, those are kind of things that are really easy to unlock based off your, you know, the apps that you use such as Salesforce”
