DATA GOD QUALIFICATIONS
Belinda has always been an advocate for making data more digestible for the typical business (ERP) user. During the first 25 years of her career in Technology, she promoted the use of “nonstandard” financial statements to make understanding data easier for C Levels, Business Owners, and Managers alike. Knowing that this goal can only be achieved with “insights” and “aha moments”, Belinda has spent the last 6+ years making all ERP data easier to visualize and absorb. She is now a self-proclaimed “Influencer for Data Driven Change.”
