Jeff Miller has been appointed as the company’s new chief revenue officer, as per StarTree Inc.’s pioneer in real-time and user-facing analytics (CRO). As StarTree enters its next growth phase, Miller will oversee its go-to-market strategy across Sales, Revenue Operations, Solutions Engineering, Customer Success, and Product-Led Growth. This phase will be devoted to accelerating growth, developing new products, and increasing the number of businesses that use StarTree’s real-time analytics platform.
Miller is an accomplished leader with over two decades of experience building and directing high-performing sales teams and rapidly expanding businesses in the data and open-source technology sectors. Cockroach Labs is a cloud-native, distributed SQL database platform. He was recently the chief revenue officer there, overseeing the company’s growth to Series F and a $5 billion valuation thanks to the addition of more than 250 clients. Formerly, he was Hortonworks’ senior vice president of sales, during which time the firm had record growth, reaching $100 million in annualized recurring revenue (ARR) and an initial public offering (IPO).
Kishore Gopalakrishna, co-founder and CEO of StarTree, praised Jeff as “a seasoned and enthusiastic leader with an incredible track record of expanding revenue.” Build on the tremendous momentum we’ve established over the previous two years with his results-driven attitude and his extensive background working with OSS-based data solutions. We’re thrilled to have Jeff on board as we pursue our goal to help businesses realize the full potential of their data by providing instantaneous insights to their customers.
Miller said, “I’m excited to join StarTree at this critical juncture in our development.” Having faith in the potential of open source-based technology, Apache Pinot will bring about a sea change in the Analytics sector. Market growth for real-time analytics is expected to skyrocket as significant players in the industry, such as Stripe, Walmart, and Uber, see the immense potential of providing instantaneous insights. This technique has infinite applications. Looking at the StarTree platform, I see a product with unique features and capabilities supported by a dedicated user base. All the elements to build the next great data company are in place, and I can’t wait to start with them.
StarTree reached a significant milestone in 2022, expanding its client base by ten times and income by four times. Over 2 million downloads of the open-source Apache Pinot project occurred that year, which increased by a factor of five from the previous year.
Gopalakrishna added, “We are quite delighted with the progress we have accomplished in a short period.” Customers across a wide variety of industries showed tremendous interest in our offerings. It’s exciting to see clients use StarTree Cloud to unlock the full potential of their data, but that’s only the beginning. We are entirely committed to realizing our lofty 2023 objectives.
The StarTree Cloud allows clients to deploy their real-time analytics environment in either a Bring-your-own-Cloud (BYOC) or SaaS Edition. Customers of StarTree Cloud come from a wide variety of industries, including retail, financial technology, media, and even food delivery. Stripe, DoorDash, Eats, and Guitar Center are among the company’s notable clientele.
