About Us
We founded KMco at a neighborhood café while working through the challenges we faced in adapting and growing in our careers and discussing our love of data. Our shared interests and complimentary skillsets have led us both to careers in data science where we can put our technical skills, creativity, and perpetual thirst for knowledge to good use. We understand the common challenges of introducing a data use culture within an organization, and are armed with the experience to help others tackle those challenges. We also bring a unique talent for helping organizations identify hidden insights within their data, and helping make those insights shine! In a world with overwhelming training options, data overload, and rapid technology change, KMco seeks to providing an accessible and encouraging platform for individuals and organizations to learn to love their data.
As KMco co-founders, we bring years of experience in information design, data analytics and visualization, local and international training, and support services. We also remember not to take ourselves too seriously and continuously learn as we grow.
