Sisense appoints Katz as senior VP

AI outfit Sisense has appointed Gilad Katz as Senior Vice President, Engineering.

Katz will lead the company’s global engineering and development department and use his background in building SaaS architecture as Sisense tries to spin itself as one of the only cloud-agnostic and cloud-native analytics vendors on the market.

Sisense CEO Amir Orad said that Katz was an innovative engineering leader with an impressive track record of scaling and leading high performing teams and developing cloud-centric solutions that support large scale production systems and serve customers’ most complex technical needs

Katz has more than 20 years of experience leading large scale engineering, both in enterprise SaaS companies as well as in early-stage start-ups. In his most recent role, Gilad led the R&D and Product teams at AppsFlyer, where he grew the engineering department from 60 engineers to more than 300, developing one of the industry’s top Cloud 100 “mission-critical” SaaS production systems that brought the company over $200 million in annual revenue, serving over 10,000 customers and over 6,000 technology partners.

Katz said: “Sisense has incredible momentum and I am fortunate to join such an exceptional business that saw the need for the cloud early on. I look forward to helping Sisense continue to expand and develop leading technologies that transform businesses around the world.”
