LONDON, Oct. 3, 2024 /PRNewswire/ -- Starburst, the open data lakehouse company, today announced it has appointed technology executive Steve Williamson as SVP and General Manager to lead the company's next phase of growth in EMEA.

The rising demand for AI and ML in the region has sparked the need for hybrid technology solutions, such as Starburst, which can help companies access data across both on-premises and cloud IT environments.

"EMEA holds some of the world's largest and most sophisticated companies whose success depends on secure, compliant, and efficient use of enterprise data to fuel their mission critical applications," said Steven Chung, President of Starburst. "We're thrilled to have Steve, a proven leader in this space, spearheading our expansion plans for the region."

Starburst offers a unique technology - Trino and Apache Iceberg (aka "Icehouse") - that simplifies access to enterprise data in both on-premises and cloud architectures, driving faster revenue growth and lower costs while mitigating data risk."
