The first speaker of the evening was Kathrin Borchert, a Microsoft Data Platform MVP. A self confessed ‘Power BI Addict’, Kathrin began by introducing herself with a Power BI report! Aside from all things data related, Kathrin also loves cats and has 3 of her own. Right on cue, one of Kathin’s cats, Atlas, made a very timely appearance.
Kathrin was made an MVP earlier this year and is very active within the Power BI community. As well as having a passion for Power BI, Kathrin is super creative and likes to sew, knit and create logos in her spare time.
It was Kathrins husband who suggested she try consulting, and she became a consultant in 2017. Once Kathrin had been introduced to Power BI, she was hooked and decided to make it her career. Now Kathrin works exclusively with the Power Platform, Power BI and Azure Services. The key piece of advice Kathrin gave was to do what you love. By doing this, your work becomes your passion rather than a chore.
