Crayon Data

Enterprise data and engineering leadership.

Leading a 35+ person engineering organisation and an enterprise data platform after the acquisition of Avagam.

Avagam: Founder & CEO, July 2010–March 2012; Crayon Data: Technology Leader, April 2012–April 2014.

Carrying the platform into a larger company

I founded Avagam and continued the work after its acquisition into Crayon Data. As Technology Leader, reporting to the CEO, I led a 35+ person engineering team working on graph and machine-learning capabilities.

Evidence and outcomes

Crayon Data was a CODE_n top-50 finalist at CeBIT in March 2014. The platform was later recognised as a TiE50 winner in May 2014, after I left in April. These recognitions belong to the company and platform; they are not personal awards.
