About Visual Insights

Built from eight years inside enterprise business intelligence.

Visual Insights isn't a side project — it's what happens when someone who spent years building and leading enterprise Power BI teams decided to bring that same caliber of work directly to businesses that don't have a BI director of their own.

Visual Insights was founded by Kyle Gautreaux after nearly a decade leading business intelligence and analytics teams inside fast-moving, data-heavy organizations. Most recently, as BI Development Manager at an energy sector firm, Kyle built the company's first end-to-end BI architecture from the ground up — data pipelines, warehouses, and lakehouses on Microsoft Fabric — and grew the team's dashboard output from three dashboards built over two years to more than twenty in his first year leading the group.

Along the way, something clicked. Kyle personally led client demos of the internal dashboards his team had built — and watched leadership turn those same dashboards into a brand-new, monetized service line. It confirmed something he'd suspected for years: most businesses aren't short on data. They're short on someone who can turn that data into something people actually want to open — accurate, well-governed, and designed with the same care a brand puts into everything else it puts in front of people.

"Most companies aren't short on data — they're short on someone who can turn it into something people actually want to open."

Kyle Gautreaux, Founder

Visual Insights exists to bring that standard directly to small and mid-sized businesses — the custom, executive-level dashboard design typically reserved for large enterprises with a dedicated BI director, without the enterprise timeline or overhead.

Kyle Gautreaux

Founder & Lead Dashboard Designer

Before founding Visual Insights, Kyle spent eight years in business intelligence and operations leadership — most recently as a BI Development Manager, where he led a global team of developers, personally reviewed every dashboard's DAX and M code before it shipped, and helped lead his organization's adoption of Microsoft Fabric from the ground up.

Earlier, he led a global team of senior Power BI developers building custom analytics for a portfolio of more than eighty clients in the human resources industry, and served as a subject-matter expert in workshops with Microsoft on configuration-driven dashboard design. Before moving into BI full-time, Kyle spent years in operations and project leadership — designing training programs, running large-scale data migrations, and managing client onboarding for a platform serving over 150,000 accounts across 40 utility markets. That operations background is part of why a Visual Insights dashboard isn't just visually polished — it's built to hold up against how a business actually runs.
