I'd been a data warehouse/business intelligence (DW/BI) consultant for over 19 years and I'd been in medium to large organizations working to improve the way they've made DW/BI effective. What I learned was that it wasn't me that made the difference, it was the executives that took the ideas and best practices and made them work in their organizations. No one did it better than Armik. Besides her ability to understand the technical issues, her people skills, working with the end users and senior executives, her staff (who loved her), and the software vendors resulted in the successes we consultants are proud to claim some small part of.

As part of the TDWI family Armik has spent a lot of time challenging the faculty, working on our panels and asking the hard questions. She is driven to demand excellence from her teams and instead of getting fatigue from not getting answers she has been on a search to understand better how to manage, value and monetize data. I have had to often struggle to keep up with how she approaches and thinks about information. She has restructured and motivated teams at ATT and Directv to be on the leading edge of insight rather than just on delivering data. She continues to challenge and push the boundaries and take her team with her. She has always been a strong advocate of continuous learning and with new paradigms in Business Intelligence and rapid disruption she has been great at incorporating them into her arsenal. Looking forward to some interesting conversation at the next event!
