October 29, 2018 By admin Leave a Comment

Waterline Data, a global leader in data cataloging solutions and applications, today announced the company has raised $14.5 million in Series C funding. Menlo Ventures led the round with additional participation from Jackson Square Ventures, Partech Ventures and Infosys. This round brings total capital raised to date to $37.5 million. After years of rapid growth, Waterline Data will use the investment to accelerate product innovation and continue to support an aggressive push toward global expansion and go-to-market strategies.

The company also announced the appointment of tech luminary Robert Youngjohns to its Board of Directors. Youngjohns, currently a senior advisor at McKinsey & Company and operating partner at HgCapital, recently served as EVP and GM at Hewlett Packard Enterprise where he led the company’s multi-billion dollar software portfolio, which included big data and analytics. Prior to that, he fulfilled a variety of leadership roles at many of the organizations that helped define today’s tech landscape, including IBM, Sun Microsystems, Callidus where he was CEO, and Microsoft where he was President of North America. Youngjohns currently serves as a board member for InMoment, Sitecore, Blueprint and Densify.

“Waterline Data has been sharply focused on leading the charge in empowering organizations to compete in the data economy with their innovative, AI-driven data cataloging solutions,” said Robert Youngjohns. “The rapid growth Waterline Data has been experiencing year after year continues as demand increases on a global scale. I am looking forward to working closely with the company to capitalize on all opportunities for growth as it builds on its commitment to help customers transform their mountains of data into real business value.”

Waterline Data–which makes it easy for Nordea, GSK, Fannie Mae and other large organizations to automate the discovery, classification and governance of data at petabyte scale without compromising security–also announced separately that it has named Ed Peek SVP of Worldwide Sales, a new position the company created to meet surging global demand. Waterline Data is in use by some of the world’s largest financial, food & beverage, tech, healthcare, pharmaceutical and manufacturing companies in the Fortune 100 and Global Fortune 500.

“Waterline Data’s AI-driven data cataloging solutions are an absolute must for any organization looking to quickly convert all of its information assets into true data-driven decision making as well as comply with increasing data security regulations,” said Kailash Ambwani, CEO of Waterline Data. “We are extremely grateful for the support of our investors and are thrilled to welcome global software leader Robert Youngjohns to our Board of Directors as we continue to build on our customer successes and take the company to new heights by making big data a reality for everyone.”
