“Yellowbrick has several key differentiators in the data warehousing market, and I’m excited to help expand the company’s North American business opportunities,” said Robert Potts, VP of North American Sales, Yellowbrick. “Enterprises have a heightened need for predictable cost models, cloud flexibility, and top performance. Unlike other options in the market, including Snowflake and other legacy data warehouse solutions, Yellowbrick allows customers to deploy in their own public cloud account, on-premises, or at the edge. I’m looking forward to helping customers achieve their goals with Yellowbrick’s modern data warehouse.”
