Adam Gilstrap
Overland Park, KS, United States of America
Adam is a Senior Financial Reporting Specialist at the FDIC (Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation…you’ve heard of us in every banking commercial ever “member FDIC”). He began working for the FDIC in August 2012. Like most new employees he was looking to stay busy his first few weeks. A colleague (for whom he is forever grateful) said “we have this new thing called Tableau…you should try to figure it out…it would be a good feather in your cap. Adam soon realized his true professional love was efficiency and replacing manual with dynamic. Tableau made this all incredibly easy while also making it look incredibly cool. A couple years later Tableau Server arrived at FDIC which motivated Adam to finally learn SQL. With the entire reporting lifecycle at his fingertips from database to inbox, Adam helped Tableau popularity explode at the FDIC. Looking for a way to collaborate and share ideas remotely, Adam started the FDIC TUG (Tableau Users Group) in June 2020. The group quickly became popular and has developed a web of Tableau power users and novices working together at the FDIC. Along the way Adam decided to make his Tableau skillset official by earning a certification. He was discouraged to fail his first attempt to become Tableau Desktop Certified (he swears his dog barked the entire exam). Now more prepared and taking the exam at a testing center (no barking) Adam earned his certification on his second attempt. In February 2022 Adam added a Tableau Data Analyst certification with the Early Bird designation (1 of the first 1000 to pass the exam worldwide). Adam earned a Bachelor’s degree in Accounting and a Master’s in Accounting and Information Systems from the University of Kansas. He lives in suburban Kansas City with his wife, 3 children and dog (still barks a ton). Most of his free time is spent with his family. He loves playing sports with his kids and being in nature. He dabbles in sports cards and collectibles but his main hobby is home projects and fixing things.

Muhammad Azhar
Dubai, United Arab Emirates
Hello, my name is Muhammad Azhar. My journey from a small village in Pakistan to the corporate skyscrapers of Dubai has been thrilling, and each step has been guided by a single passion: telling stories with data. Tableau is my faithful companion on this trip as I work as a Business Analytics Specialist. I have been acknowledged as a Tableau Featured Author, and it isn't just a title to me – it's an affirmation of the hours spent mastering this craft. And those Vizzie Award nominations? They serve as reminders that passion, when coupled with dedication, does get noticed. My degree in Computer Engineering from COMSATS University Islamabad served as the foundation for my interest in technology. However, it was during my college years that I became acquainted with the field of data visualization. When I'm not knee-deep in data, you'll probably find me lost in a book. I've got this thing for psychology; understanding how minds tick is just fascinating. Maybe that's why I love data viz so much – it's about connecting the dots and understanding what makes people tick.

I then led the BI programme, developed their World Class centre of excellence, started leading the London Tableau User Group, and was named a Tableau Ambassador. In 2015 I switched to Jones Lang Services (JLL).
