Today, I would like to introduce César Brochero Castel, an Academic Program Educator Ambassador for 2023! César is our Educator Ambassador for the second year, having been also selected last year!
César lives in Argentina where he is an Educator and has been teaching for 8 years at both the Universidad de Palermo and the Universidad Católica. He was inspired to join the Academic Program after discussing with his colleague the difficulties he had using other analytics solutions. During his first several years he taught QlikView and then he migrated to Qlik Sense and has been using that ever since! In addition to Qlik Sense, he also incorporates the Data Literacy training he is provided as part of his membership. Throughout his course the students are required to develop an analytical application using Qlik Sense in which each student freely explores the data with the aim of finding insights and sharing it with others. To help them, they use the social network connector available in Qlik Sense and other resources to go beyond normal dashboard reporting. During his time teaching, César has seen several students decide to use Qlik Sense during their employment which gives him great satisfaction to know that he has helped them out in their professional careers.
César is the Founder of QuAlytics SpA Chile which provides analytics solutions to South American companies using Qlik Sense. In 2022, César also co-funded an EdTech startup called Jupi Digital (Jupidigital.com). The company helps people to re-convert their careers as data analysts. Jupi Digital trains people from diverse fields with all they need to work as data analytics professionals.
When asking César where he believes the industry is going, he replies “I feel that analytical skills are required today more than ever. Today's world requires people trained in data literacy to face the challenges that the world demands. The data is there today, but we must be able to understand it and get something good out of it. We must all go in that direction.”
When César is not teaching or building his business, he spends time with his family and baby Olivia!
