  • Data Viz Collaboration: Teamwork Makes the Data Work
    Nov 18 2024

    Collaboration is at the heart of success for many data professionals, and Anne-Sophie Pereira De Sá and Sarah Pallett are here to share how teamwork helped them create the Ted Lasso Tableau Viz of the Day—a project that gained recognition not only on Tableau Public but also as a featured talk at the Tableau Conference.

    Anne-Sophie, based in London, is a strategy data analyst at LinkedIn. She uses her expertise to help clients better understand their audiences through data. Outside of work, she’s deeply passionate about data visualization, often exploring creative topics like TV series, music, and the Eurovision Song Contest. With three "Viz of the Day" honors on Tableau Public since 2021, a Top 10 finish in Tableau's Iron Viz competition, and multiple longlistings for the Information is Beautiful Awards, Anne-Sophie is a powerhouse of creativity and technical skill.

    Sarah’s career journey is equally inspiring. Starting as an advertising executive and later a stay-at-home parent, she transitioned into data visualization after discovering the Tableau #DataFam community. Engaging with initiatives like Makeover Monday and Workout Wednesday, alongside Tableau’s eLearning resources, Sarah quickly developed into a skilled data visualization consultant. Now working with clients in marketing, healthcare, and insurance, Sarah transforms complex data into impactful stories. Originally from Toronto, she now resides in Los Angeles.

    Together, Anne-Sophie and Sarah demonstrate the power of collaboration in creating data visualizations that captivate and inform, proving that teamwork truly does make the data work.
