Otto Ottinger

Bio

Otto Ottinger is the founder and Managing Director of the Datalabs Agency, a data visualization and visual analytics design firm.
The Datalabs Agency, under Otto’s direction, focuses on four core areas: design strategy, data visualization, marketing analytics, and training.
Otto especially enjoy two parts of his job. Serving as a Chief Data Visualizer on high-profile projects often at the C-Suite level, he designs complex user interfaces for companies such as Nestlé, Accenture, Marriott Hotels and American Express. Otto also runs the Datalabs Agency’s R&D shop, betting on a future where user interface and algorithm design meet interactive data models and predictive analytics. In this future, in marketing specifically, Otto likes to be at the crossroads where data becomes content, and content becomes data.
Excitement about his work and specific interests like the Internet of Things, visualizing digital marketing systems and automation gets Otto out of the office, presenting and speaking at data and design conferences. He talks openly about what he knows and doesn’t know (yet) in the fields of data visualization, data science, and visual analytics.
The focus of his work at Datalabs is the creation of real-time, interactive dashboards and data tools, and innovative visual reports. Otto’s previously held positions at National Geographic, in Washington, DC, and at Telstra.
