Dataiku, the Platform for AI Success, today announced that Maxwell Long has joined the company as President and Chief Revenue Officer (CRO). A recognized leader in the software industry, Long will spearhead Dataiku’s next phase of growth worldwide, leading global sales, customer success, and partnership teams, and will report to Dataiku’s co-founder and CEO, Florian Douetteau.
“Max has done this before, built commercial organizations that turn a strong product into durable, scalable growth. At a moment when our customers are moving from AI experimentation to production, that’s exactly the kind of leadership Dataiku needs,” said Florian Douetteau, co-founder and CEO of Dataiku.
Long is a tenured executive with over three decades of experience building and scaling commercial teams for global technology companies, including Microsoft, Adobe, and NetApp. He joins Dataiku from his most recent position at Smartsheet, where he served as the President of Go-to-Market (GTM), leading a global team of over 2,300, grew the company from hundreds of millions in ARR to more than $1 billion, and helped lead the company’s $8.4 billion acquisition by Blackstone and Vista. Prior to that, he spent three years at NetApp, where he held several leadership roles, including Chief Commercial Officer (CCO) and SVP of North America. There, he led the worldwide team that generated over $3 billion in sales across North America, grew the company’s Cloud Sales ARR to just under $600 million, and spearheaded the transformation to a cloud-led, data-centric software company.
Long’s appointment builds on Dataiku’s strong momentum, in which it surpassed $350 million in ARR last Fall, and has since launched the Platform for AI Success. The company has a growing global customer base of over 750 organizations, including industry leaders such as LVMH, Michelin, Novartis, Johnson & Johnson, Unilever, Equifax, and BMO. Dataiku also recently announced innovative enterprise AI products to market, including Reasoning Systems, Cobuild on Snowflake, and Agent Management, and launched 575 Lab, Dataiku’s open-source office, which released Kiji Privacy Proxy™ and Kiji Inspector™.
“Dataiku has built something rare: a platform enterprises trust for AI when the stakes are real,” said Long. “The market is moving past demos and experimentation. Every major company now has to turn AI into a repeatable source of business results, with the governance to scale it safely. I’m convinced Dataiku is built for this moment. My focus is making sure we bring that capability to every organization ready to move from AI ambition to AI success.”
