CEO/Founder of Qubole discusses Big Data in the Cloud: From Facebook to IoT

Join Jacob Whitver, Vice President, Technology from DRIVIN & Ashish Thusoo, Co-Founder & CEO from Qubole.

This presentation will discuss the gap that enterprises face today when trying to monetize their data and scale up to achieve data maturity. We will present several ways enterprises can use to measure their own data activation readiness, and a technical dive into the role that Data Ops plays in achieving a data driven culture. There will be an exploration of the stages that Facebook went through to democratize and self-serve data across the company. The session will also cover usage trends of Qubole's cloud-native big data optimization platform, including customer success stories.

About the Presenter:
1997 Graduate MS Computer Science from UW-Madison, Ashish Thusoo co-founded Qubole in 2013 with a mission to close the data accessibility gap. In launching Qubole, he leveraged his experience as part of the original Facebook Data Service Team from 2007 to 2011, to democratize data across an enterprise. Ashish authored many prominent data industry tools during his time at Facebook, including the Apache Hive Project. His goal was to deliver massive speed and scale to the data platform, while providing better self-service access to the data for all users. Ashish and his co-founder Joydeep Sen Sarma built these product principles of speed, scale, and accessibility into the foundation of Qubole.
