Gilbert Quevauvilliers

Gilbert Quevauvilliers

I am a Power BI/Fabric Consultant/Architect at FourMoo, a leading data analytics company that helps organizations to see their data on their terms.

Out of the box thinking has allowed me to produce outcomes that are both cost effective (often reducing overall costs) and providing valuable insights into data. The solutions are designed and deployed using Microsoft technologies.

My mission is to provide solutions for business challenges by sitting with the users and leveraging the new features in Power BI and Microsoft Fabric to fit with their goals. I also support the implementation and completion of Power BI projects, including architecture design, development, deployment, training, best practice, and user group sessions. Some of the technologies I use are Azure Analysis Services, Function Apps, Runbooks, Logic Apps, Automation Accounts, SQL Serverless DB, Azure Data Lake, and more. I am passionate about Power BI and DAX, and I enjoy speaking at various events and conferences to share my knowledge and experience.

The Microsoft MVP award allows me to be integrated with a vast network of other accomplished peers in the data and analytics workspace.

Please note that Sessionize is not responsible for the accuracy or validity of the data provided by speakers.

Most Active Speakers 2024

Every year, we put together a list of the most active speakers. This list features the top 3% of speakers who have participated in events using Sessionize during the 2024.

The 3% is calculated from the pool of all speakers that have at least one accepted session in year 2024. We don't include inactive speakers or speakers that had no accepted sessions during the year. There are around 38,000 unique accepted speakers this year, the 3% is 1036. Not all of them have their speaker profiles set as public, and we respect that, so the list doesn't show all of them.

The calculation is based on the number of accepted events, that's the main criteria, but to get more refined results we also look at things like multiple sessions per event, sharing a session with a co-speaker and how big the event is. Number of submissions and declined sessions don't affect the list.

Please note that the count of events and sessions in this list does not represent the number of events and sessions from the year 2024. Instead, it shows the number of events and sessions featured on the speaker's public speaker profile; these numbers have nothing to do with the award itself.
