The snow and polar vortex couldn’t stock Dr. Krause’s FinTech
Topics course – students pushed ahead despite worst winter weather in
decades
On Friday, February 1, 2019, Dr. David Krause (AIM Program
Director) met with Jim Donahue, Founder of Rising Tides Analytics – a Milwaukee-based
data analytics and consulting firm.
Donahue’s firm offers Business Intelligence
and Analytics Consulting with expertise in Tableau, Alteryx and DataRobot. Jim
is a 2004 graduate of Marquette University.
Dr. Krause said, “It was great to meet Jim yesterday and he
seems to be an excellent resource for our students. The data analytic skills
that we are introducing to our students appear to be in total harmony with what
Jim is doing with his firm, Rising Tides Analytics. He will be a guest speaker later in the
semester and we look forward to learning how he is applying these technologies as
it relates to his financial business opportunities.”
“Where I see Jim making the biggest splash this semester will
be in the area of data analytics visualization,” Krause commented. “Our
students are strong will Excel; however, by mastering Tableau it is hoped that
they will learn to drill deeper into the data and identify relationships – I know
that by utilizing Tableau they will be able to generate more insightful reports
and do impactful analytics.”
