Bio:

Renee Thiesing is a co-founder of Quodsi, an embedded simulation product that turns the process diagrams teams already draw into simulation models inside tools like Lucidchart and draw.io (with more integrations coming soon!). She has over 15 yrs of experience applying simulation to real operational decisions and she helps process improvement professionals move from “here is the new design” to “here is how it will perform.” Her work centers on making simulation accessible to business analysts, consultants, and industrial engineers who need evidence for their recommendations but lack the time to become modeling specialists. Renee is a frequent conference speaker and a contributor to the industrial and systems engineering community.
