Steve Hoberman

Steve Hoberman is the most requested data modeling instructor in the world. Introduced at over 50 international conferences as everything from a “data modeling guru” to “data modeling rock star”, Steve balances the formality and precision of data modeling with the realities of building software systems with severe time, budget, and people constraints. In his consulting and teaching, he focuses on templates, tools, and guidelines to reap the benefits of data modeling with minimal investment. He taught his first data modeling class in 1992 and has educated more than 10,000 people about data modeling and business intelligence techniques since then, spanning every continent except Africa and Antarctica.

Steve is known for his entertaining, interactive teaching and lecture style (watch out for flying candy!), and organizations around the globe have brought Steve in to teach his Data Modeling Master Class, which is recognized as the most comprehensive data modeling course in the industry. Steve is the author of five books on data modeling, including the bestseller Data Modeling Made Simple. He is the founder of the Design Challenges group, inventor of the Data Model Scorecard®, Conference Chair of the Data Modeling Zone conference, and the recipient of the 2012 Data Administration Management Association (DAMA) International Professional Achievement Award.
