  • Hamzah ChaudharyFounder

    I've been frustrated with the state of data tools over the last few years, now building Lightdash with a mission to build the data stack for the future of data-driven teams. Former Director of Product Management at an insurtech (employee #7), grew the business from seed to Series B, $40M+ funding and >70 employees. In previous work, I worked with drone analytics technology and launched a late-night food delivery service based in London
