IRVINE, Calif. and NASHVILLE,
Tenn., June 13, 2019
/PRNewswire/ -- Alteryx, Inc. (NYSE: AYX), revolutionizing business
through data science and analytics, today announced enhanced
diversity and inclusion programs and support for Nashville-based nonprofit, Make Music
Nashville, at Inspire U.S. 2019, the company's annual user
conference.
Alter.Us
Alteryx introduced "Alter.Us," the company's diversity and
inclusion program aimed at promoting comprehensive diversity across
its leadership and associates, including race, gender, religion,
country of origin, education, cognitive thinking, experience and
background. Diversity has been a key pillar of the company's
culture since its inception and a critical factor in driving global
growth and business success. Dean
Stoecker, chairman and chief executive officer, is
personally championing the program, collaborating with an internal
committee composed of varying levels and departments across the
organization to incorporate different perspectives, enhance
creativity, increase associate engagement and satisfaction,
up-level innovative problem solving and improve decision making.
Learn more about the program by visiting the Alter.Us Booth in the
Alter.Nation Expo Hall at Inspire.
"Diversity and inclusion needs to be a CEO-level priority and at
Alteryx, it is a critical imperative for all levels of the company,
which is why we established 'Alter.Us,'" said Dean Stoecker. "We create a technology platform,
but it is our associates and our customers that bring the humanity
and the insights, fostered by diverse cultures, backgrounds and
approaches to problem solving. Promoting diversity and equality is
not a socially responsible initiative alone, but a strategic
business decision. Diversity should reflect the community we serve
and can appeal to new customer bases, open business opportunities
and impact financial, social and cultural outcomes."
In recognition of these efforts, Alteryx was recognized as a
2020 Women on Boards "W" Winning Company for its commitment to
board diversity with two women sitting on its Board of Directors,
Kimberly Alexy and Eileen Schloss. 2020 Women on Boards is a
nonprofit education and advocacy campaign committed to raising
public awareness about the value of gender-diverse boards.
Women of Analytics
Today at Inspire, Olivia Duane
Adams, co-founder and chief customer officer, is hosting a
Women of Analytics panel and luncheon titled, "Analytics as an
Equalizer," highlighting the importance of involving all genders in
the promotion of equality, not just women. The evolving landscape
of the data science and analytics market creates an inherent need
for organizations to foster data-driven cultures fueled by
collaboration and diversity, presenting an opportunity for women in
the workforce to accelerate their careers by embracing analytic
roles. This year's panel includes Julia
Cole, Nashville recording
artist; Linora D'souza, senior
director at Hilton; Esther
Bezborodko, senior IT trainer at McKinsey & Co., Inc.;
and Ariana Fuller, vice president at
a top financial institution. The panel is one of many hosted each
year by the Women of Analytics initiative and its affiliated
chapters across the globe, created as part of the Alteryx Community
to empower women in business.
Alteryx for Good + Make Music Nashville
Just as Alteryx recognizes analytics as an equalizer,
Nashville-based nonprofit, Make
Music Nashville (MMN), recognizes music as an equalizer and aims to
provide an equal platform for musicians of all skill levels,
interests and walks of life to inspire the next generation of
musicians through innovative outreach programming. Alteryx for Good
is supporting Make Music Nashville by working with customers,
partners and associates on-site at Inspire to build 600 musical
units, which will be donated to the organization and distributed at
MMN's free musical celebration, hosted in conjunction with World
Music Day on June 21. At the Night
Market Marimba Jam, an on-site instructor will guide participants
on how to use the single-note marimba units donated by Alteryx,
known as "BamBooms," which are designed to allow anyone to learn
how to play music without learning to read it. To learn more about
MMN, contribute to their efforts or attend the event, please visit

"Music has the power to bring people together and our annual,
free event creates opportunities for the local Nashville community to take part in World
Music Day through music education, play-alongs and concert
experiences," said Matthew Fox,
president of Make Music Nashville. "We rely on our volunteers,
sponsors and supporters to make this event happen every year and we
are grateful to Alteryx for their contributions to making music
accessible to all."
