Starburst Taps Industry Veteran Deron Miller to Lead the Next Phase of Growth in the Americas & Asia-Pacific

BOSTON, Oct. 3, 2024 /PRNewswire/ -- Starburst, the open data lakehouse company, today announced it has appointed Deron Miller as SVP and General Manager to lead the company's commercial operations for the Americas and Asia-Pacific regions.

Spurred by the rise of AI and ML, companies are upgrading legacy systems or building new platforms to meet the growing demand. Unfortunately, these businesses are constrained by access to enterprise data siloed across different sources which bottleneck innovation and increase costs.

"As an open data lakehouse running on Trino, the leading data platform used by the likes of Amazon, Netflix, and Halliburton, we help our customers access complex data environments quickly and at scale to support both hybrid and cloud environments," said Steven Chung, President of Starburst.  "Deron's proven leadership in the enterprise data space is ideally suited to advance this mission in our largest markets."

Prior to Starburst, Deron served as Chief Revenue Officer for Delphix, an enterprise data company. He has also held revenue leadership roles at leading companies such as GE, Adobe, Microstrategy, and Nuance Communications.  

"Starburst is one of the most exciting technologies that I have seen in over 20 years," said Deron Miller.  "By enabling our customers to access data directly across different platforms, we can help accelerate innovation, while reducing cost and risk."
