Girish Pancha

Girish Pancha is the CEO of Matillion, a leading cloud-native data integration and transformation platform widely used by data-driven marketing and advertising organizations to power their analytics pipelines. He brings deep expertise in data infrastructure, having spent decades building and scaling enterprise data platforms that serve as the backbone for modern AdTech and MarTech stacks. His leadership at Matillion has focused on accelerating adoption of cloud data platforms like Snowflake, Databricks, and BigQuery — environments increasingly central to audience segmentation, attribution modeling, and programmatic campaign optimization. Prior to Matillion, Pancha served as CEO of StreamSets, a data operations platform focused on DataOps and intelligent data pipelines, where he helped scale the company and position it for its acquisition by Software AG. Before StreamSets, he held senior leadership roles at Informatica, one of the foundational enterprise data management companies, where he was instrumental in product strategy and go-to-market execution during a pivotal era for cloud data integration. His career reflects a consistent focus on making data more accessible, reliable, and actionable for large enterprises. While Pancha is not an AdTech executive in the traditional sense, his work sits at the critical intersection of data infrastructure and advertising technology. As the industry grapples with identity resolution, first-party data strategies, and the deprecation of third-party cookies, the data integration and transformation capabilities that Matillion provides have become essential infrastructure for advertisers, agencies, and publishers seeking to build durable, privacy-compliant data assets.
