About

I'm the Chief Product Officer of Redis, the most loved NoSQL database on Stack Overflow's yearly developer survey and trusted by countless enterprises for use cases that require fast data and performance. Previously, I was the founding Chief Product Officer at Aryn, a start-up building agentic document intelligence services using cutting-edge AI and analytics technology. Aryn raised raised a $7.5M seed investment from Factory, 8VC, Lip-Bu Tan, Amarjit Gill, and other notable investors. Before that, I was SVP of Product Management at Dremio and led the Product Management, UX and design, and documentation teams. Dremio powers analytics on cloud data lakes of many Global 2000 companies, and is valued at $2B with investors like Lightspeed, Redpoint, Insight, and Norwest. Before Dremio, I spent ~8.5 years at AWS across several analytics, database, and blockchain teams in product management and general management functions. I led the product management organization for AWS In-Memory Database and Caching Services, including Amazon ElastiCache for Redis and Memcached and launching Amazon MemoryDB for Redis. I founded the AWS blockchain team and led product and engineering for Amazon Managed Blockchain at Amazon Web Services. Before starting the blockchain group at AWS, I was led product management for Amazon EMR at Amazon Web Services, a service which makes it easy and cost-effective to process and analyze petabytes of data with Apache Hadoop, Spark, HBase, Presto, Hive, and other open-source distributed big data frameworks. I have been invited to present globally at AWS re:Invent, Strata, AWS Global Summits, Hadoop Summit, and more.

  • Chief Product Officer, Founding Team at Aryn (Acquired by Glean)
    May 2023 - Jul 2025 · 2 yrs 3 mos

    Aryn (acquired by Glean) means “high mountain.” Our mission is to answer questions from all of your data. Over 90% of data today is unstructured, leaving enterprises with mountains of data that are difficult to conquer. Our goal is to help you summit that peak. With the recent flurry of advances in AI, we believe that seamlessly processing and querying unstructured data is within reach. Towards this, we founded Aryn to re-imagine enterprise search and released the open source Aryn Conversational Search Stack with OpenSearch and Sycamore, a new semantic data preparation system. Aryn raised a $7.5M seed investment from Factory, 8VC, Lip-Bu Tan, Amarjit Gill, and other notable investors.
