BEST UTILITY ANALYTICS PROFESSIONAL

This award recognizes the utility analytics industry’s top professional who possess the knowledge, skills, experience, passion, and business acumen required to provide consistent, quality, and innovative effort that is directly relevant to the utility analytics industry. The ideal candidates have a positive attitude, demonstrate a commitment to excellence, and consistently exceed performance objectives.

As an example, candidates can be data scientists, analysts, architects, engineers or analytics champions for the utility industry. Nominees of this award should not have direct reports. Please see the UAI Best Utility Analytics Leader Award for nominees with team members reporting directly to them.

  • Possessing the knowledge, skills, experience, passion, and business acumen required to provide consistent, quality, and innovative effort that is directly relevant to the utility analytics industry
