Guiding Star of the Company
Justin Langseth is the Founder of Zoomdata, Inc. and serves as its Chief Executive Officer. He is a graduate in Management of Information Technology from the Sloan School of Management, MIT. Currently, he is also serving as a venture partner at NextGen Venture Partners. Under his leadership and guidance, companies like Clarabridge, Inc., Claraview Inc. and Strategy.com (MicroStrategy subsidiary) have been formed. Prior to joining MicroStrategy, he was a software design consultant in the electric utility, managed care, and pharmaceutical industries.
Mr. Langseth has been in the Business Intelligence (BI) space since the mid 90’s and encountered its progression from simple analysis of sales transactions to real-time analysis of trillions of rows a day. Justin realized that existing BI software would simply not work with modern data sources, and therefore, launched Zoomdata.
