Earned a B.S. in Computer Science from Princeton University and began his career as a software engineer at HP and BEA Systems, where he built the WebLogic Java application server. He then spent six years at Salesforce, rising from Principal Architect to SVP and ultimately CTO of the Salesforce and Work.com platforms. As an entrepreneur-in-residence at Sutter Hill Ventures—the firm that incubated Snowflake—he saw that cloud data warehouses would centralize enterprise data but leave business users locked out, and co-founded Sigma Computing in 2014 with Jason Frantz to put a spreadsheet interface directly on the warehouse. He led the company as CEO through roughly $58M in early funding before handing the role to Mike Palmer in May 2020 and moving to CTO, where he drives product strategy for a platform that crossed $200M in ARR in April 2026 and reached a $3B valuation with its May 2026 Series E.
