Steve Hughes is the Director of Consulting at 3Cloud. In my current role, I manage the West and Central Data & AI consultant team at 3Cloud. I did a similar role at Pragmatic Works before our merger with 3Cloud. I focus on team development and company growth with this role. In my previous role as a Principal Consultant Lead at Pragmatic Works, I focused on designing solutions for customers on Microsoft technologies including SQL Server, Power Platform, and Azure.

Kristyna Hughes is the Team Lead for BI at GlobalTranz. I have played an instrumental role in moving our company from 3 different reporting platforms to hosting our reporting within Power BI. I provide advice on security structures within the platform, manage the gateways, create and implement design strategies, train, and build reports for both our internal operations committee and external customers. I will also be aiding in embedding Power BI within an unified TMS and ensuring various levels of security are maintained within the embedded reports.
