Matillion, the intelligent data integration platform, has appointed former Google and Microsoft exec Frank Weigel as its chief of product (CPO), as the company continues to transform the way organizations work with data.
University of Manchester graduate Weigel has a career marked with simplifying and democratising powerful technologies particularly during his time as a VP at Microsoft, expertise he brings to Matillion’s Data Productivity Cloud.
“After two decades gaining experience across both Silicon Valley startups and Big Tech, I am eager to bring that perspective to further establish the Data Productivity Cloud as the most intuitive and effective data integration platform for the AI era,’ said Weigel.
“Recognizing that enterprise AI relies critically on accessible internal data, I’m thrilled by the opportunity to empower humans and AI agents to gather and transform the data they need – both with AI-driven tools and for their AI initiatives.”
Weigel brings significant experience in the low-code/no-code space to Manchester-based Matillion, having been responsible for launching offerings like Microsoft Power Apps and Google App Integration.
