ARVIND KRISHNAN
CTO
ALTERYX INC.
WHY: Named chief technology officer of data analytics software maker Alteryx Inc. on June 30, 2025.
IN THE NEWS: Alteryx was once one of OC’s star software companies; the pandemic and artificial intelligence led to questions about the company’s model. It was sold for $4.4B in 2024 to private equity firms Clearlake Capital Group and Insight Partners.
NOTABLE: Industry veteran Andy MacMillan was appointed CEO in December 2024 with a mandate to push the software company to “new heights.”
QUOTABLE: “AI and data analytics are becoming inseparable. But, for AI to work reliably, it needs to be given accurate, well-governed, and contextually rich data. That’s where Alteryx comes in. We’re not just adding AI features; we’re integrating AI into the full data lifecycle.”
