Exasol announced that it has appointed Rishi Diwan as Chief Product Officer. In this capacity, Diwan will oversee product strategy, product management, design, product marketing and solution engineering, enabling Exasol to achieve its next stage of growth. Diwan will report directly to Exasol CEO Aaron Auld and will be based in San Francisco, where Exasol plans to open a new office. Diwan’s appointment comes at a time when Exasol’s growth continues to thrive in North America, particularly in a post-COVID-19 world where organizations need a much better understanding of their data and how to leverage it faster – so that they can deliver more accurate insight and real business value as fast as the world changes around them. Over the past six-to-nine months, Exasol has signed several new North American partners including TEKsystems, AskData, 4 Mile and Pyramid Analytics. Exasol has also signed several new customers, including Equinix and Voicebase. And, this month, Exasol released Exasol V7. Diwan brings more than 25 years of experience in data and analytics, formerly working at companies such as Salesforce, STATS, SAP, and Oracle. Most recently he led product management for data science products at Salesforce.
