Gordon Wong, Renowned Analytics Leader, Joins SqlDBM - Online Data Modeling Tool as a Strategic Advisor

Gordon brings decades of experience to bear on helping solve one of the biggest challenges in data: discoverability and effective governance.

SAN DIEGO--(BUSINESS WIRE)--With over thirty years of industry experience, Gordon Wong has worn every hat in the data analytics space. SqlDBM - Online Data Modeling Tool is thrilled to announce that Gordon will add another to his collection as a Strategic Partner. Having seen firsthand the transformative power that data-driven insights can have on business decision-making, Gordon will help guide SqlDBM on its journey of developing and integrating new data discovery and collaboration features.

Gordon is famous for his ability to lead organizations to that “aha” moment by helping build a mature data culture. He is quick to spot potential: as an early adopter of Snowflake in 2014 and one of their biggest customers, Gordon understands the power and flexibility that cloud-native solutions can provide. Unfortunately, legacy modeling tools are still confined to the desktop and fail to reach the users through a lack of sharing and collaboration features.

Gordon believes that such limitations are “primarily the fault of difficult to use tools, steep learning curves, and a lack of integration between modeling and the real world. I think SqlDBM has the potential to break down barriers on all three fronts, dramatically improving data literacy.” SqlDBM has made breaking down these barriers its primary mission and is confident that Gordon's guidance here will be indispensable.
