Brandon Davis is a Director - Data Engineering and Analytics Practice Leader at Etiventure. He possess expertise in vendor management, business intelligence, data warehousing, etl, databases and 22 more skills. Colleagues describe him as "I hired Brandon to lead our Business Intelligence Applications team in 2011. At that time the team lacked leadership, was operating without a clear vision for analytics and BI technology, and was not collaborating with their business and technology peers. Unlocking the potential in the team was critical for the success of our strategic analytics initiative. Brandon was highly effective in the turnaround. He quickly established a vision for BI applications - building a roadmap to improve delivery capabilities and technology that motivated his team. He set an example for his team in collaborating across the department and with other stakeholders. He executed on that while simultaneously scaling the output of his team threefold, moving them from mostly keeping the lights on in a legacy environment to building analytical applications that rapidly achieved high-value and were recognized nationally as best in class. The attributes that make Brandon an effective leader is a passionate focus for achieving tangible outcomes, defining and meeting commitments, leveraging all available resources and putting his team members’ skills to the very best use. He is cool under pressure and helps his team focus on the positive. He cares deeply about his team members and is decisive to change direction when needed. As we see with other effective coaches and leaders, these attributes and values were reflected in the attitude, performance and output of his team. I can’t wait until my next opportunity to work again closely with Brandon." and "When Brandon first showed up at Premera, the organization was in need of a leader to create an enterprise level BI platform for a new initiative called Actionable Analytics. The data warehouse components were in motion and evolving quickly, but the distribution, presentation, and adoption of our BI offerings were still in the infancy stages. Brandon was instrumental to the formation of an enterprise class BI platform and team to mature our BI offerings. We worked closely to bridge the gap of data acquisition in it's raw state through a data integration process and onto data presentation in it's most usable state and created a close partnership between teams that I doubt will ever be equaled again in my career. He's a savvy Business Intelligence professional but more importantly, a genuine decent human being who cares about people and cares about the cause. He's a team builder, motivator, and strong advocate of using data visualization to solve business problems. I know first-hand that people who have worked with him and for him respect his skills and accomplishments, but more importantly respect Brandon, the person."
