Predict to Avoid Failure: David Mariani, AtScale, CEO

David has 25 years of experience in delivering Big Data, consumer Internet, Internet advertising and hosted services platforms, creating nearly $800M in company exits.

He founded AtScale in 2013 to provide access to Big Data to everyone who needs it, regardless of data format, size or the type of tool business users want to use. Enterprises like American Express, Visa, Bloomberg, United Healthcare, Cigna, Aetna, Allstate, Home Depot, Comcast and Toyota all use AtScale to democratize access to data for their employees.

Dave has a degree in Economics from UCLA, but that’s never stopped him from writing code. After single-handedly inventing the business intelligence industry in the early 90’s with his first company, Mineshare, Dave continued to surround himself with large amounts of data at places like Yahoo! and Klout.

When he’s not occupied in his role as AtScale’s fearless leader you can find Dave cleaning up the trail of destruction left by his four children. If you ever find Dave without a can of Diet Coke in his hand...he might be dead.
