Thoughts from the Top

“The industry is at an inflection point: it’s moving beyond data visualization and into a world where data is powered by AI and search. Businesses need to arm decision makers with smarter insights to grow, compete and provide real value to their customers, and AI-powered analytics makes this a reality,” said Brian McCarthy, ThoughtSpot SVP of Worldwide Sales. “As ThoughtSpot navigates our next phase of growth in this shifting climate, Spencer’s and Raja’s industry expertise will be essential in our mission to bridge the barrier between data and decision-maker, required for  global businesses to compete today and thrive tomorrow.”

“The analytics industry is moving faster than ever before, and staying ahead of the innovation curve requires product leaders with a unique blend of agility and deep industry knowledge,” said Ajeet Singh, ThoughtSpot Cofounder and Executive Chairman. “Raja’s exceptional track record building disruptive technology will help us accelerate our roadmap as we help organizations around the world transform how they utilize data and make decisions.”

“In today’s world, if you aren’t making insights instantly accessible to business users across sales, marketing, supply chain, procurement and other business decisions, you’re falling behind,” said Spencer Tuttle. “The incredible work being done for our customers in EMEA, like De Beers and BT, demonstrates how powerful ThoughtSpot can be to enterprises ready to break from the status quo. I look forward to continuing and expanding this work as we help organizations throughout EMEA transform themselves for the digital era.” 

“As businesses increasingly rely on data to make decisions, it must be made easily accessible to everyone within the organization so that they can make quick, smart determinations based on tangible proof points,” said Raja Mukhopadhyay. “ThoughtSpot’s platform is especially formidable, as it was uniquely built from the ground-up to handle the complexity of enterprise data. It’s been impressive to watch the team evolve this without compromising the high caliber standard. Looking forward, I’m most excited about the possibility to not only improve the platform, but expand its capabilities and build new applications and services for enterprises to tap.”
