Monica McEwen and Toni Adams join ThoughtSpot to target new markets and expand ThoughtSpot’s ecosystem of partners as the company expands around the globe

PALO ALTO, Calif. — November 28, 2018 — ThoughtSpot, the leader in search and AI-driven analytics for the enterprise, today announced two new members have joined the company’s executive team to support the company’s massive global growth.

New Executives Join ThoughtSpot.

• Monica McEwen, VP of Public Sector will help bring search & AI-driven analytics to customers across the public sector, including federal, state, and local governments, agencies, and other government bodies. She has more than 20 years experience, including recently serving as VP, Federal at OmniSci and VP, Federal at Qlik.

• Toni Adams, VP of Global Channels and Alliances will scale ThoughtSpot’s partner ecosystem  and build new relationships with innovative companies, systems integrators, channel partners, VARs, and resellers.

Leadership Reacts

“With the proliferation of AI and cloud technologies, the world has fundamentally changed. Organizations in every vertical and every industry need technology partners who can not only keep up with this rapidly changing world, but anticipate their future needs, leverage the best of the ecosystem, and work collaboratively to maximize the value of their investments,” said Brian McCarthy, ThoughtSpot SVP of Worldwide Sales. “Monica and Toni are two leaders with a proven track record of helping organizations leverage disruptive technology for competitive advantage, and I couldn’t be more excited to have them along for this journey.”

“I’ve spent my entire career helping the government improve mission effectiveness through new technology,” said Monica McEwen. “The government seeks innovative technologies that seamlessly integrate with existing infrastructure, deploy easily, and don’t require extensive training by frontline decision makers. As soon as I saw how easy ThoughtSpot’s AI technology made it for anyone to answer data questions quickly, I knew it was a solution that could have a profound impact and drive actionable intelligence across the government, whether it be to support improved citizen engagement or help Federal programs optimize their mission effectiveness.

“For years, enterprises have looked to technology to unlock the value of their data, yet no technology vendor has been able to bring insights to the broader organization,” said Toni Adams, VP of Global Channels and Alliances. “ThoughtSpot’s search and AI approach to analytics rewrites this equation, making it possible for anyone to answer data questions in seconds. The opportunities for partners, from further enhancing ThoughtSpot’s value through technology like our partnership with DataRobot, to providing strategic advisory and implementation services, are endless. I’m thrilled to be part of building a community of world class partners excited to disrupt the status quo in analytics.”
