Hi! I'm Riesling.

Riesling Walker is a Data Science Manager with a Masters in Analytics from Georgia Tech. In her analytics and data science career at Home Depot, Capital One, Atlassian, and Microsoft, she has worked across online retail, store-side retail, product, credit cards, B2B, SaaS, and marketing, giving her a diverse set of experiences. She has spoken at the Digital Analytics Association OneConference (2021), MeasureCamp US (2022), and The Marketing Analytics Summit (2022) about her experience building confidence as a woman in analytics.

Riesling gravitates towards analytics engineering and data strategy, ensuring data quality and usability. This includes extensive data documentation and enablement, development of new datasets, building analytical layers on top of existing data models, joining data sources in new ways to extract insights, catching errors in production, and more.

In addition to her core responsibilities, Riesling is team "Glue" that helps a team become strong together. She is constantly encouraging people to collaborate, building relationships within and across teams, leading data foundations changes, becoming a brand advocate and keeping a positive attitude. Whether it's starting a Toastmasters Public Speaking club, proactively mentoring new analysts, sending people the podcast that she listened to that morning, or connecting people across the organization, it's clear that she is a "culture add" to any company. Above all, Riesling likes improving processes and helping people.
