I worked with this person in the same company on different teams

I previously worked with this person at a fintech startup. Back then they were working as a data analyst, setting up Tableau within the organisation and guiding different business functions on how to set up their own dashboards, so they could self-serve their data needs. What impressed me about them was their strong stakeholder management skills and their kind and patient disposition. I believe they have been promoted several times since then - which is a testament to their hard and soft skills.
