Executive Team Standing with Nasdaq Billboard in Times Square
Raj Verma has lived his whole adult life exploring and navigating the landscape of data and data storage . His education focused on computer science engineering and maths . When studying for his degree he toyed with the idea of making his university thesis all about artificial intelligence and robotics . He ’ s a data junkie .
He sees the industry in which he works as nothing new and likes to tell you data database technology and the world of data storage has been around far longer than he has : “ Fifty years , maybe even longer ,” he says .
“ It ’ s not that this industry is anything new . It ' s just the way data has been processed and the way computers and storage have tangled together , which has changed .”
Untangling that past and streamlining the way the company stores and processes data in the future is Raj Verma ’ s mission as CEO at SingleStore .
It ’ s not that he is a man ahead of his time . He is a man of his time … and he is on a mission to explain – which he does with great clarity . Why ? Because data storage is no longer the preserve of the few . It is now a global requirement of us all . Raj says data storage is something which touches all our lives , even though many of us may not realise it . We cannot function without it .
