Nicole Baratta, Principal Business Value & Measurement Program Manager, Unified Intelligence Engineering, Red Hat and Austin Tableau User Group Organizer
Texas, USA

Nicole Baratta is the Principal Business Value & Measurement Program Manager for Unified Intelligence Engineering at Red Hat, where she translates complex AI initiatives into tangible business value. Nicole is a self-described data enthusiast who finds as much joy in the "perfect clean" of Tableau Prep as she does in the final visualization. Her journey with Tableau began with a curiosity-driven online course and a passion for social impact, leading to her first project mapping student demographics for ChickTech. Today, she continues to push the boundaries of data science at work, recently completing a course in dbt and Snowflake to further integrate advanced data engineering with impactful Tableau visualizations. Outside of work, Nicole stays active in the Tableau community by serving as a leader of the Austin Tableau User Group.

Driven by a lifelong passion for sharing knowledge, ranging from her early days as a technology blogger to her current role as a mentor, Nicole has established multiple internal communities of practice at Red Hat to foster a culture of data literacy. Whether she is posting insights on LinkedIn, answering questions in the Community Forums, or organizing local events, Nicole’s focus remains on fostering a spirit of support. For Nicole, the heart of the Tableau ecosystem is the people, and she thrives on creating spaces where fellow data enthusiasts can connect, learn, and innovate.

Connect with Nicole on Linkedin and Tableau Public.
