Founder & CEO at RudderStack
I’m the CEO and Founder of RudderStack, focused on elevating data teams from “cost centers” to strategic partners in business growth. I’m passionate about finding engineering solutions to real-world problems, drawing on my background in large-scale distributed systems, machine learning, and deep learning. At RudderStack, we believe data engineers should own their pipelines and decide how customer data is collected, routed, and governed. Our approach emphasizes a warehouse-native, composable architecture that bakes in privacy and compliance from the start, ensuring that scale doesn’t compromise reliability or collaboration. By placing data teams at the heart of customer data infrastructure, we help organizations see tangible revenue impact and shape a future where customer engagement is both intelligent and ethically managed.
