Vizable & Tableau in a Mobile First Asia with Dave Story

Vizable & Tableau in a Mobile First Asia with Dave Story
Dave Story discuss his perspectives on Tableau in a mobile first Asia & discuss their new mobile app, Vizable. 

In this episode, Dave Story, VP, Mobile and Strategic Growth at Tableau Software, joined us for a chat to discuss his perspectives on how Tableau is poised to grow in a mobile first Asia with the vision of analytics everywhere, and their new free mobile app, Vizable, which helps to turn data into beautiful interactive graphs. Sharing his experiences as the CTO of LucasFilm and Move to how he landed his current role in Tableau, Dave also told the back story of Vizable app that combined Silicon Valley and Hollywood. Last but not least, through the conversation, he shared the lessons as a manager of products and focused on asking the right questions on what the product should do rather than figuring out the users first.
