VP, Reasoning Systems

Dataiku is the Platform for AI Success, the enterprise orchestration layer for building, deploying, and governing AI. In a single environment, teams design and operate analytics, machine learning, and AI agents with the transparency, collaboration, and control enterprises require. Sitting above data platforms, cloud infrastructure, and AI services, Dataiku connects the full enterprise AI stack — empowering organizations to run AI across multi-vendor environments with centralized governance.

Enterprises are shifting from using data for insight to deploying AI for continuous, high-stakes operational decisions. In many core functions, such as manufacturing operation, supply chain, and financial risk, decision logic has long escaped core systems into fragile custom code and manual processes. Agentic AI intensifies the pressure to change — but also exposes the limits of existing architectures: agent sprawl, rising costs, governance risk. Adding agents on top of legacy workflows does not scale.

This creates a new category above agents: Reasoning Systems — domain-specific, end-to-end decision processes that orchestrate data, models, rules, agents, and human judgment around explicit business workflows. Dataiku is uniquely positioned to lead it: already embedded at the data and ML layer of complex, regulated environments, operating as an open control plane across systems, clouds, and AI stacks.
