Hi Timo
Data, Analytics, BI and related concepts often send non-data professionals running the other way. Your cartoons make for amazing ice breakers that ease readers into keeping an open mind around very technical and difficult discussions.

With your consent I would like to use your cartoons in our presentations and blogs.
Thanks.
Urvashi, please go ahead!
