Mikhail Christiansen

Mr. Christiansen is a data visualization, data mining, and Excel modeling specialist. He has helped commercial, non-profit, and government clients gain control over their data and produce valuable insights through visualization, reporting, and ad hoc analyses.

He has led a systems consolidation and business intelligence project for a multinational non-profit that resulted in cost savings and improved efficiency. His past experience also includes helping a multinational health care company redesign their budgeting and forecasting reports to more accurately report costs, determine areas for improvement, and to increase manager utilization. In addition, Mr. Christiansen co-led the merger of two international consulting firms’ financial systems into Salesforce.com and led data efforts to mine, visualize, and analyze all historical sales data for the new firm.

This experience helped him flesh out the three things that he is truly passionate about - Data Analysis, Visualization, and Training/Mentoring. Nowadays, most of his time is spent helping clients visualize their data to gain faster, more meaningful insights into their company and make better strategic business decisions.

In addition, he trains teams on Tableau, VBA, Advanced Excel, and SQL.
