Melissa Coates

Hi! I’m Melissa Coates.

I’m now permanently retired and enjoying the good life in Portugal.

As owner of Coates Data Strategies from 2019 - 2023, my most recent professional focus has been on data architecture, delivering technical training, and consulting. My focus has been on enterprise-level Power BI governance, deployment, security, and administration. My experience with designing and building data architectures to support data warehousing, data lakes, and business intelligence solutions means that I approach Power BI as one component of the bigger picture.

If you’re looking for info about the Power BI Deployment & Governance course, Mike Carlo has taken that over. Please check out the new site at: https://training.tips/


Where you can find me online occasionally:



I’m a big believer in supporting our technical community. I was a Microsoft MVP in the Data Platform category from 2013 until I retired at the end of 2023. The MVP award is provided to technical community leaders who actively share their expertise.
