Greg Baldini

At Argus PBI and Tabular Editor, Greg Baldini spends his career building high impact and high performance data solutions for customers. His experience spans industries and business domains. He feels silly writing his own biography in the third person. So I will just leave it with this: I like solving big, hairy data problems, and have spent a lot of time optimizing data models and solutions. Talk to me about anything. I love this stuff!
