Lenore Flower

Lenore Flower (MBA, MCT) is the owner of Data Plumber, LLC, a training-first consulting business that helps small-to-medium businesses grow their data teams alongside their data ecosystems on the Microsoft stack. After leading BI on the client side of a challenging D365 F&O implementation, Lenore made the leap to consulting with one clear mission: become the kind of data consultant she'd desperately needed herself. Today, she specializes in hands-on collaboration with data professionals building and maintaining systems that span D365 F&O, Fabric, Power BI, and Dataverse. Whether it's architecting real-time analytics pipelines or troubleshooting a tricky data model, Lenore believes the best consulting happens when knowledge transfer is built in from day one. Beyond client work, Lenore is deeply involved in the data community. She co-organizes the Power BI Washington DC User Group (since 2022) and DUG DC (since 2025), and recently launched Beautiful Nerds—The Podcast to keep the conversation going between events. When she's not wrangling data or community events, you'll find her applying IoT sensors and Fabric Real-Time Analytics to her chaotic 20×40 garden allotment—because if you're going to fail at growing tomatoes, you might as well have telemetry to explain why.
