Our Story (click here to see our interactive resume)
Cedric began his career stuffing envelopes with rebate checks for Conservation Services Group; within three months at CSG he was their sole data and reporting lead. A visionary for the future state of the world, he is the first graduate of Portland State’s Master of International program to specialise in Global Business and Sustainability, and his thesis examined everything from green power to architecture to city planning in the Chinese marketplace.
Critical in his career was his start in energy efficiency and utility work, his introduction to Tableau upon starting Colourless Green, and his introduction to Alteryx. These three events have allowed him to abstract data, visualise your stories, investigate efficiencies, and understand the data.

I am a medium that unearths the possibility for your data to sing again. I enable you to hear her call, her warnings, her delight, her song.
I am your guide taking you on a journey of discovery, resulting in a new relationship and pathway to understanding they mysteries housed in the catacombs of your data.
Colourless Green builds functional dashboards that will tell a CFO or a COO the health of their business. We can show a logistics manager or a sales team where their customers are. We can provide insights into top vendors, procurement practice changes, and perform SKU rationalisation. We can find opportunities in inventory management, including delineating what is sitting around in your warehouse collecting dust and costing you money, as well as where to put your safety stock to alleviate stock-outs.
Colourless Green is focused on providing fractional data analysis for these top-level executives or managers. Even if you have business analysts embedded within your organisation, they are not trained to look outside their silo. Integration of that data is key, and that is the function and role Colourless Green can provide. Going across those silos is what we do well.
Since 2015, we’ve tackled the challenges of data management, data visualisation, and business intelligence in a consulting role for a variety of customers in nearly every industry. Beginning in 2016, we have shifted the focus of the organisation from energy to supply-chain challenges. What we’ve learnt is that data challenges are not unique to one industry, but the solutions to those challenges are common across industries.
