In a media statement about the news, Tableau Chief Product Officer Francois Ajenstat said “Data science has always been able to solve big problems but too often that power is limited to a few select people within an organization. To build truly data-driven organizations, we need to unlock the power of data for as many people as possible. Democratizing data science will help more people make smarter decisions faster.”
