Advance your procurement performance with analytics

Neeraj and his team are responsible for managing the Procurement, Sourcing, and Corporate Travel functions at Tableau. Neeraj has spent the last 2.5 years at Tableau leading and building the rapidly expanding Global Procurement function. He has held leadership/managerial roles within Procurement and Procurement Centers of Excellence at companies like Starbucks, Philips, Microsoft, and Intel. Neeraj first discovered Tableau when he was asked to negotiate an agreement between the Starbucks Security Team and Tableau. He was amazed at speed, productivity, insights, and efficiency gains that the Tableau solution was able to bring to the Starbucks Security team, (given the vast amounts of Store Security Data Starbucks was sifting through manually). He is super enthusiastic about sharing his experiences in leveraging Tableau analytics and dashboards to build a continuously maturing Procurement function at Tableau. Today he is proud to hear from his internal stakeholders that “Procurement is meeting the challenges of a rapidly growing business”.

Mike spent four years as a software developer supporting financial & management systems before moving into a number of different IT management roles. In 2001, he moved into his first “data analytics” role and luckily discovered Tableau Desktop in 2007. This discovery changed his career. Mike joined Tableau as the first IT Finance Manager in late 2011 and in 2015, he took on a new role as the Senior Manager of Analytics to enable everyone at Tableau to use Tableau. In 2016, he moved back into Finance to lead Finance Analytics. Now he is the Director of the Finance Data Office at Salesforce driving Data Strategy, Governance and Analytics across the entire Finance organization (which includes Tableau). He’s excited to share how anyone, but specifically finance professionals, can use Tableau to see and understand their own data.
