Henrik Jorgensen, CRO of Exasol AG: “In my conversations with customers and prospects, I see a significant shift in the data management landscape. Many companies are opting to keep certain parts of their data on-premises, driven by regulatory requirements, or to avoid the escalating costs associated with high-volume, continuous cloud workloads. This ‘cloud smart’ approach – a hybrid model that balances on-premises and cloud solutions – is rapidly emerging as a key trend. At Exasol, we are uniquely positioned to provide these forward-thinking companies flexible solutions that enable them to optimize their data infrastructure for both compliance and cost efficiency.”

Lars Milde, CMO of Exasol AG: “I am very excited to join Exasol. The Company is excellently positioned to help customers with data analytics at the conflicting priorities of big data and AI applications on the one hand and exploding cloud costs on the other hand. Exasol’s powerful analytics engine enables customers to analyze massive data volumes in a high-frequency manner at an unbeatable price/performance ratio.
