Howard Dresner’s Experience

President and Founder
Dresner Advisory Services, LLC
(Management Consulting industry)
July 2007 — Present (1 year 3 months)
As President of Dresner Advisory Services, LLC I focus upon two key areas:
1) Industry expertise and thought leadership for Business Intelligence and Performance Management - delivering seminars, webinars and publications for the industry. My first book, The Performance Management Revolution (John Wiley & Sons) was published in November 2007. I expect to begin researching a second book in September 2008.
2) Strategy advisement and coaching for organizations seeking to identify and leverage their core strengths and improve their performance in the market. -
Chief Strategy Officer
Hyperion
(Public Company; 1001-5000 employees; HYSL; Computer Software industry)
October 2005 — June 2007 (1 year 9 months)
In 2005, I left Gartner and joined Hyperion Solutions as Chief Strategy Officer, successfully making the transition back to vendor life. As CSO I focused my efforts upon corporate strategy, product direction, and acquisitions. Externally, I drove thought leadership initiatives and served as a “voice” of Hyperion for customers, analysts and the market at large. As a result, we succeeded in making Hyperion the uncontested leader in performance management solutions. Early in 2007 Hyperion was acquired by Oracle for a 30% premium. Although Oracle graciously offered me a role, I chose to pursue a more independent route.

Research Fellow
Gartner
(Public Company; 1001-5000 employees; IT; Information Services industry)
1992 — 2005 (13 years)
Among my many roles, I spent 13 years at Gartner, where I served as lead analyst for Business Intelligence. During my tenure I drove the definition and direction of the Business Intelligence research agenda, taking BI from an esoteric "backwater" to a mainstream and highly valued research area. I was twice selected as "analyst of the year" and inducted as a Gartner "cultural icon". I was named Vice President in 1996, Distinguished Analyst in 2003 and Gartner Fellow in 2004. In addition to driving much of the research surrounding BI, I founded and chaired Gartner's European and North American Business Intelligence conferences. Both remain industry-defining events.
