Mico loves discussing the use and impact of data storytelling on her Analytics on Fire podcast, where she interviews rockstar students, fellow thought leaders, and some of her executive sponsors.

Mico’s true passion is teaching the verbal, written and visual art of data storytelling to drive action. She’s consulted with and trained teams for companies like Shell, FedEx, Nestle, Qatargas, Ericsson, Procter & Gamble, Kimberly-Clark, and more.
