Growth isn’t a destination—it’s an ongoing challenge. For Satyen Sangani, Co-Founder and CEO of Alation, growth means more than just increasing resources—it’s about being ready to tackle bigger challenges every quarter. As Alation expands, helping nearly 600 global enterprises—including 40% of the Fortune 100—unlock the true value of their data, the company’s journey is marked by continuous innovation and the ability to adapt.
Since 2012, Satyen has been focused on creating thriving data cultures that empower organizations to access and trust their data. With well over $100 million in ARR and an expanding customer base that includes industry leaders like Cisco, DocuSign, Nasdaq, Pfizer, and Samsung, Alation’s impact on the data landscape continues to grow. But even with such success, the core of entrepreneurship remains the same: it’s about solving tough problems, driving innovation, and making a lasting impact on both customers and employees.
As you scale, how do you ensure your resources and capabilities grow in parallel with your business?
