I'm Ross Durston, founder of Finding Stories.
Having worked in Data for over 20 years at leading companies such as Tesco, P&O Cruises, Nectar and Gopuff, I've built extensive experience in the fields of Data, Analytics, Business Intelligence and Consumer Research.
Now, although I would today call myself an expert in Data Storytelling, Visualisation and Communication, it wasn't always that way. Today I'm proud to call myself an introvert, but previously this was a significant barrier to my career success. But through the coaching from others, finding my own style and by increasing my confidence through practice and feedback, everything changed and now my motivation lies in helping others on this journey too.
Through my empathy, experience and passion, I'm in the unique position to utilise my skillset to help train others deliver impact where it is needed most for you and your organisation. I'd love to work with you to make this happen.
