She is credited with driving marketing strategy and execution through all stages of growth, taking the company from a small startup with $5 million in revenue to a publicly held industry leader with over $1 billion in revenue.

“When I look to be a part of an organization, I don’t just look at the industry and its potential but also at the people and the product. Do the customers love the product? Is the team passionate about what they’re doing? Is the product addressing a real business need?” said Elissa Fink. “I’m thrilled to say Dataiku has all these ingredients in spades and I look forward to collaborating to achieve their vision of Everyday AI.”

Peter Campbell currently serves on the board of Latch and Tufin Software Technologies. He brings deep expertise in developing and executing growth strategy and building world-class, global finance organizations.
