Flavio Matos

Flavio graduated from University of São Paulo and University of California in Food Engineering. During his Master’s in Innovation and Management, he decided to explore the field of data analysis - this is when his journey started and how he discovered Tableau.

While working at Unilever, Flavio used data analysis and statistical process control to develop continuous improvement projects, aiming to reduce wasting packaging material, as well as developing ESG projects.

During his time at The Data School, Flavio is thrilled to continue learning more about Tableau and Alteryx, in addition to helping others make sense of their data.

Outside of work, Flavio is a competitive swimmer, also loves to explore London and travelling around the world.
