Former Snowflake marketing leader to drive Starburst's growth and awareness in data and AI
BOSTON, Jan. 9, 2025 /PRNewswire/ -- Starburst, the hybrid data lakehouse company for AI, today announced the appointment of marketing veteran Lisa Luscap as Chief Marketing Officer. Luscap will lead the company's next phase of growth and accelerate awareness of Starburst's data and AI platform, powered by OS Trino.
The rising demand for AI and machine learning (ML) has amplified the need for hybrid data solutions like Starburst. These platforms enable rapid, cost-effective access to and querying of data across both on-premises and cloud environments, addressing the challenges posed by the volume, complexity, and distributed nature of data residing in numerous silos.

"Supplying relevant data is the key bottleneck for enterprises to compete in this new era of AI," said Steven Chung, President of Starburst. "As the leading hybrid data lakehouse trusted by companies like Amazon, Netflix, and Halliburton, Starburst empowers our customers to accelerate innovation in their AI and ML projects. Lisa's impressive track record will help us scale and reach new customers, industries and markets - key elements of our success. We're thrilled to welcome her leadership as an experienced and savvy start-up marketer to guide Starburst through its next stage of growth."
Prior to joining Starburst, Luscap served as CMO at Pluralsight and was instrumental in leading marketing efforts at Snowflake, where she helped take the Data Cloud company public in September 2020. Over her more than twenty-year career, she has held marketing executive roles at VMware, HP, Siebel Systems and Dolby Laboratories, consistently driving growth and building brand and demand at every stage.
"I'm excited to join the talented team at Starburst and help our customers accelerate their data, AI and ML initiatives," said Lisa Luscap. "Starburst's unique data and AI platform simplifies access to enterprise data across on-premises and cloud environments, enabling businesses to supercharge AI applications and agents to drive tangible outcomes."
