Olivia Duane Adams (Libby) is the chief advocacy officer (CAO) and co-founder of Alteryx.
She is one of the few female founders to take a tech company public, along with her
founding counterparts, Dean Stoecker and Ned Harding. Libby’s vision in creating the
world’s leading data analytics community is part of the company’s 24-year success.
Under Libby’s leadership, the Alteryx global community has grown, serving as an incubator
and empowering all knowledge workers to become data-enabled, including diversity in
analytics. As a former chief customer officer, Libby knew that creating a customer-centric
culture went beyond delivering successful products and set out to create a community of
passionate data lovers, where users can solve more together, boldly step into the unknown,
and achieve more than they ever thought possible.
Today, Libby’s passion for customers holds strong as she works closely with Alteryx users
and the global analytics community on key initiatives to diversify their workforces, upskill
their people, and deliver meaningful outcomes and insights in an ever-changing business
world.
Libby spearheads the Alteryx SparkED program, which provides free software and
resources to learners of all skill levels to develop the analytics skills they need to question,
understand, and solve with data. SparkED is empowering thousands of students and job
seekers with in-demand certifications that will set them up for success in their careers and
beyond.
