The announcement last week that Tableau’s CEOAdam Selipsky is stepping downfelt more significant than the casual media coverage it received. To me, it was a signal that the murmurings of discontent I’ve been hearing were true: Tableau is over.
The Glory Days
While Tableau first came about in 2003, they really hit their stride in the early 2010s — and what a stride it was. Users heralded the tool as ‘revolutionary’ and ‘life-changing.’ Their annual conferences sold out in minutes. Participants would come together with hundreds of others, proudly brandishing swag that read ‘We Are Data People’ as they attended roller-blading socials and “Iron Viz” competitions. Like I said, it was having a real moment.
