>> My name is Ron Aswan [assumed spelling]. I am currently working at the Department of Treasury where we do business intelligence. I lead a team where we take information really from all different aspects of business and we help make strategic decisions on a variety of things, everything on operation efficiency to what to do with funding from a variety of sources of that nature.
