Mohan combines a deeply technical background with a passion to bring new tech to market. Before joining Splunk, he started and led two companies in the big data analytics and data science spaces — one bridging the gap between data stores and visualization, and another looking to bring AI into the enterprise data stack. Mohan started his career at Intel research, followed by a brief stint in McKinsey & Co. He is the recipient of 2005 IEEE/IFIP Dissertation award for his work on compiler techniques to enhance performance and security in distributed systems. In his spare time, Mohan likes to read, bike, and explore neighborhoods in San Francisco.
