Jags Ramnarayan is a seasoned technology leader and entrepreneur with over 20 years building high-performance data platforms and scaling global engineering teams, now co-founder and CTO of SkySQL in Portland. He has repeatedly pioneered in-memory and unified analytics systems—co-founding GemFire (Apache Geode) and SnappyData, driving innovations like approximate query processing and Spark on Kubernetes. His blend of product, architecture and go-to-market experience includes senior roles at MariaDB, Pivotal, TIBCO and startups where he led cloud-native, AI-ready data products and restructured engineering for scale. Comfortable across research, open-source and enterprise sales cycles, he pairs deep distributed-systems expertise with an MBA-backed business sensibility. A less obvious strength: he repeatedly turns academic ideas into commercial platforms, publishing in top venues while convincing large enterprises to adopt novel data architectures.
