About Nisar Ahmed

I never thought that working with data would help me find my voice—but that’s exactly what happened. What started as a passion for Tableau and BI strategy transformed into a career of helping businesses drive better decisions, mentoring aspiring analysts, teaching, and speaking at industry events.

Today, I’m a BI & Analytics Leader, data analytics instructor, Tableau Ambassador, and host of The Data Nerd Podcast. On the show, I explore the inner data nerd inside all of us. Each episode turns complex topics into practical takeaways for analysts, managers, and data-curious teams.

Beyond the mic, I run BizNis Intelligence—my education and media hub where I teach modern BI (especially Tableau), share career frameworks, and publish tools to help professionals move from dashboards to decisions with clarity.

I’m honored to be recognized as a Tableau Ambassador and proud that The Data Nerd Podcast earned the Tableau Community’s Vizzies award for Best Content Creator (2025)—a reflection of the show’s mission to educate, inspire, and entertain the DataFam.

Whether you’re here to sharpen your analytics skills, explore collaboration opportunities, or just connect over a shared love of data, welcome. My goal is simple: make data approachable, useful, and just a little more fun.
