Oz du Soleil

About this Speaker

Oz is a Microsoft Excel MVP, popular instructor on the LinkedIn Library, and YouTube personality at the channel: Excel on Fire.

His Excel videos are known for being bold, brash, humorous and dramatic; and his passion for clean data and real-world use of Excel are always present.

After a layoff in 2008 Oz started freelancing as an Excel developer, and teaching Excel workshops. This exposed him to a wide variety of data-related needs in businesses of all sizes, and in many industries. What eventually became clear was, “without clean data, there is nothing. No dashboards, no analysis, no insights, no nothing!” Thus, everything Oz does with data is rooted in concern for data quality, data literacy, and in service of the people who have to live with the consequences of our data stewardship.

Oz also co-authored Guerrilla Data Analysis 2nd and 3rd Editions with Mr. Excel, Bill Jelen. 

When Oz isn't elbows deep in data he's a sought after storyteller, having done shows around his home of Portland, Oregon and the internationally known Risk! live shows and podcast.
