Raji Narayanan is a product executive with 8 years in senior leadership roles and a 20+ year technical foundation who has led multiple data infrastructure and AI product launches that culminated in three successful exits. Currently VP of Products at CData, he’s steering CData Sync to meet enterprise AI workload demands after driving KDB‑X and KDB.AI from prototype to enterprise adoption with native vector search, GPU acceleration, and multimodal RAG. He excels at tightening time‑to‑value through developer experience improvements and PLG practices, and has repeatedly translated complex platform capabilities into recognizable analyst momentum (Gartner/Forrester) and partner go‑to‑market wins. A mathematician by training with an IIM Calcutta MBA, he blends rigorous technical delivery experience—from early cloud integration at Cast Iron and Informatica to scaling SaaS at StreamSets—with a knack for building and upskilling product organizations that bridge research, engineering, and field adoption.
