Asim Razvi Joins TDWI as VP of Education and Research
Seattle, WA (PRWEB) January 23, 2015 -- TDWI is pleased to welcome Asim Razvi as vice president of education and research. He will guide the vision and strategy of TDWI’s education and research programs and help drive TDWI’s response to a changing and evolving market.
“TDWI provides unbiased, in-depth reporting, research, and analysis for business intelligence and data warehousing professionals,” Mr. Razvi said. “As we approach our 20th anniversary, we’ll continue to offer the most useful and powerful publications and research available, as well as exploring new topics of interest, including big data, Hadoop, social media, and advanced analytics.
Mr. Razvi’s background is in mathematics. He started his career in aerospace and was responsible for building the internal software for the C-17 airlifter. However, “despite working on a number of engaging programs, I always felt something was missing. I finally discovered it when I joined an Irvine consulting firm and unintentionally built my first business intelligence (BI) application. That application allowed the company to forecast 10 years and to manage their portfolio as well as cut costs.” This experience showed him that an application could directly affect a company’s bottom line, and BI became a passion.
Later he ran and grew consulting practices that brought insights and analytics to enterprises. “I became focused on supporting businesses through technology and have worked at two of the big four accounting firms to maximize my understanding of business needs as well as technology.”
Mr. Razvi notes that the sheer amount of technology disrupting the industry makes this the perfect time to join TDWI, which he considers the leader in knowledge and research on BI, data warehousing, and analytics. “TDWI is the place where experts come to get better; I cannot think of a better place to be.”
TDWI is a division of 1105 Media, Inc. Mr. Razvi is based in 1105 Media’s Irvine, California, office.
