What should Mark Recher do (EVP & GM) #dataanalysis #tc26 #tableau

So, if I'm Mark Nelson, I'm thinking, "Hey, I'm 55 days into the job. What do I do? Where do I go? " I I I I have to very quickly understand that if I want to stay competitive, if we want to keep Tableau in its prime position, I have to figure out what innovation I'm going to bring into the Tableau ecosystem that will essentially cannibalize my existing business, completely fundamentally disrupt it. Because if I don't disrupt my own business, everyone else will. That's pretty much what's happening right now. That is the single biggest challenge it is now. The steps you take to do that, I don't know. I don't work in Salesforce. I don't know all the details, and I absolutely don't know what the revenue numbers look like. Salesforce and Tableau could be in a position where they could just do a very easy coast [snorts] for the next 5 years and still be a very successful, profitable company. It's a well-oiled machine. It's very successful. And it still does the job, frankly, for many analysts. It really does. But the paradigm is shifting. The perspectives are changing. And people are looking to different types of solutions.
