About Tableau:
As the market-leading choice for modern analytics, everything we do is driven by our mission to help people see and understand data, which is why our products are designed to put the user first - whether they're an analyst, data scientist, student, teacher, executive, or business user. From connection through collaboration, Tableau is the most powerful, secure, and flexible end-to-end analytics platform.

Our Enterprise Account Executives engage with existing customers and new leads to sell the entire analytics platform.
