Pioneering the Data Observability category

Snowflake’s $3.4B IPO, Databricks $28B valuation, and other events signal the rise of the cloud data stack, but how do companies know if they can trust their data?

By applying the same principles of application observability to data, Monte Carlo’s Data Observability Platform fills this void as the first end-to-end solution that allows data engineers and analysts to seamlessly monitor the health of their data across the entire data stack, from ingestion to analytics – all in one collaborative interface. Simultaneously, Monte Carlo provides CDOs and other data stakeholders with a holistic view of their company’s data health and reliability across critical business use cases.

Monte Carlo CEO, Barr Moses, was inspired to launch Monte Carlo after her experiences troubleshooting data downtime for her customers at Gainsight, the customer success software company.

“Customer success is integral to Monte Carlo’s DNA, and launching our CDO advisory board is a cornerstone of this commitment,” said Barr Moses, CEO, Monte Carlo. “As we charter the course for data reliability, I’m excited to bring on board some of the industry’s leading voices in data engineering and analytics to help us grow the category and bring the value of trusted, reliable data to our customers.”
