DataOps.live, the London-based software company dedicated to helping organizations build and manage their essential data applications and data products more effectively, has announced that John Marchese has joined its Executive Leadership Team with immediate effect, accelerating the company’s global go-to-market (GTM) and scaling activities.
“We needed vision, experience and a proven capability scaling enterprise B2B companies, to accelerate our global expansion. John is a lifelong entrepreneur and innovator, having worked across industries and global markets where strategic partner ecosystems are critical to success,” says Justin Mullen, co-founder and CEO of DataOps.live. “We are thrilled an industry figure of his stature has joined as an executive leader to help execute our strategic business, global alliances and partner channels development.”
Most recently at Okera, John’s leadership drove corporate growth through a partner-focused GTM model, leading to exceptional partner contribution and market impact that earned him a CRN Channel Chief Award for 2022.
John says, “When I look at today’s data ecosystem, I see the growth opportunity around Snowflake to have the greatest market potential based on my experience in closely partnering with them for the past five years. Accelerating the speed of data ingestion and adoption of data applications for the Snowflake Data Cloud through DataOps.live is a perfect storm of timing and market need aligning perfectly. I love executing with speed and building with scale, and the DataOps.live opportunity demands both.”
In a world where digital experiences have been reshaped and accelerated by the pandemic, DataOps.live is the most powerful #TrueDataOps platform for the Snowflake Data Cloud. In February 2022, DataOps.live secured a USD $10.3m seed funding round with Anthos Capital and Snowflake Ventures.
Prior to joining Okera, John led global partner sales channels at Collibra and Sisense (post Periscope Data merger), both of which achieved unicorn status during his tenure. These recent experiences in venture capital backed data companies, along with many decades of prior business and market leadership, have prepared him perfectly to seize this opportunity with DataOps.live.
Justin Mullen adds, “John’s experience, reputation and relationships across the global data & analytics ecosystem will be an exceptional asset to support our growth, and the speed at which we capitalize on the market opportunities to scale this business rapidly.”
