Yupeng Wu
Yupeng is perhaps the best representation to fulfill the statement --“tableau can help people (esp. Not-it users) to see and understand data".
Several years ago, Yupeng was then the Chairman Assistant and Business Analyst in a Retail company. Same as other analysts in China, he struggled to derive insight from many different reporting tools for Managements. However, only Tableau was able to help him to ask questions , get the answer and ask follow up questions from data within one visual interface to provide the accurate insight and helped Management team made data driven decisions.
To make full use of Tableau in different business environments, Yupeng began to study in Tableau intensely, especially LOD calculations in different business environments. Meanwhile, Yupeng documented his experience and practical methods in blogs and launched an activity named “Zero Master”, trying to help business users without IT background to apply and master tableau skillsets in their business.
Now, he became one of Tableau Partner from a passionate tableau user, to share his best practices to wider scale of users in China.
During the outbreak of COVID-19, Yupeng summarized his extensive tableau knowledge accumulated from past years, he completed and published a book “Data Visualization-Tableau Principle and Best Practices”(in Chinese Tableau原理可视化分析最佳实践), which is ranked best seller in Tableau related books and being translated by passionate users in English to benefit more diversified global users.

Robert Radburn
I started working for Leicestershire County Council 18 years ago as part of the then Research team. But it was in 2011 that things really changed when I downloaded Tableau for the first time. Five (long) years later, in December 2016, we deployed Tableau Server across the Council. Currently, I'm called a Business Intelligence Development Team Leader. My job is to ensure the success of the Tableau deployment. I'm responsible for a team of developers that accesses Council data. Then wrangler it and add into our own database to allow analysts to plug in and viz. I'm also known to help with the vizzing.
In any spare time, I write data-driven stories with Tableau and Chris Love as the Data Beats on Medium (https://medium.com/@databeats), and create too many spatial treemaps.
