About the Reviewers

Gilbert Quevauvilliers has been working in the BI space for the past 9 years. He started out learning the basics of business intelligence on the Microsoft stack, and as time went on, he became more experienced. Gilbert has since moved into the Power BI space, after starting out with Power Pivot in Excel 2010. He has used Power BI since its inception and works exclusively in it. He has been recognized with the Microsoft MVP award for his contributions to the community and helping other users.

Gilbert is currently consulting in his own company, called FourMoo (which represents the four family members). Fourmoo provides Microsoft Power BI solutions for business challenges by using customers' data and working with their business users. Gilbert also has an active blog at http://www.fourmoo.com/blog/. This is the first book that he has been asked to review.
